Pros

-Ability to learn how to analyze data

Cons

-Horrible leadership and management -Unequal pay based on race and sex of the person -Will not progress in the company unless you are a brown noser or know someone high up in the company -If you are a hard worker, they will overload you with work and stress you out while your peers sit around on their phone or socialize majority of the day -Managers don't develop the people they oversee, everyone is just going through the motions -Company is very old school and conservative, no flexibility or comfortability -Rumors, gossip, and bashing is rampant like wildfire -Management and leadership plan your whole career out for you without your input, so expect to be career blocked when applying for other positions within the company

Where Nepotism and Local Fauna Flourishes

Business Outlook

Pros

The Free Car park is exceptional value and in July the endemic South Australian Wood Duck takes up residence on the Eastern Side of the Walking Path around the premises. With it's inquisitive nature, feeding these beautiful creatures is a delight and helps deal with strain and trauma of working at PACCAR Australia

Cons

Nepotism is rife. Family and Friends of the HR Department are seemingly given an easy path to promotion opportunities. Children, Nephews, Future Family all given a leg up whereas other individuals are given nothing of the sort. The workforce is essentially captive as there are no other prospects in the area but that doesn't justify treating staff as prisoners. So unless you are related to members of the Human Resource Department or have a keen interest in Cake Decorating, those looking to progress their careers need not apply.
