Growth in position and great overall experience, but it appears men advance faster than women

Pros

PACCAR offers employees the opportunity to expand their skill set and work on assignments above their job title. This allowed me to grow in my career and gain experience outside of my normal day-to-day job.

Cons

The pay is below average and men often advance faster than women.

Pros

PACCAR has a good reputation in the industry. They do a great deal for their employees and offer good benefits. If you are able to relocate, there are many opportunities available for advancement.

Cons

You must be willing to relocate to truly advance in the company if you do not live in the Seattle area. They are more interested in you having a degree than having actual experience. The salary is average, but could be better.

Job had it's ups and downs. With the current managements, it was all a downhill slide.

Pros

Benefits are ok. Used to be better but with the economy cuts were made. Pension is still good. 401K matching is good when not cut.

Cons

No support from management at all for lower level employees. No growth opportunities. No promotions ever (16+ years = no promotions). No recognition for a job well done. ITD goals are not in touch with reality. Company does not keep up with new technology unless forced (and company bills itself as a Technology Company that builds trucks). Outdated equipment for office staff (10 yr old PCs etc).
