Pros

You get to drive the truck!!

Cons

3 months of internship - 90 - 24 (weekends) = 66 working days 20 days out of 66 days 1) Meetings 2) Tours of Sites 3) You have to listen multiple times why PACCAR is the best? Advertisements? Yes, they basically advertise them to their interns multiple times. 46 days left Manager: We are making decisions. 40 days left: Manager: We can setup your machine and decision is in progress, you can do some trainings. 30 days left Manager: We are not going to work on that project because management didn't approve. We will look something new for you 15 days left : I resigned. I literally resigned a internship. Every single stand up, I didn't have anything to mention to my colleagues, It was embarrassing. I talked to multiple employees and they weren't happy about it. My mentor didn't even know that they he got a new intern

Pros

The company is stable if you fit the culture.

Cons

-The company culture is terrible, the values that the company and management sells is far from the truth. -The business expects a direct trade off with spending dollars to unrealistic expectations without ever laying the foundations to enable realistic expectations -The company is one of the cheapest around -They have an at will employment policy and will use it to their advantage, everyone is expendable -It doesn’t matter how good or skilled you are, it all boils down to dollars, savings -Work life balance is horrible, employees are upset and unhappy, cross functional teams are heavily siloed, infrastructure is nonexistent -HR posts job descriptions that are false advertisements -You will be treated as a number, management will sacrifice the quality of work, decisions, and their employees to prevent looking bad from their higher ups. -The company doesn’t operate based on their customers, They operate off of fear.
