Pros

401(k) 5% match with no vetting period Fully paid pension Competitive pay If you just show up and drink the PACCAR koolaide (follow policies, make your PAR look really good, etc) you'll succeed without issues.

Cons

It's a job at a large company. There's always going to be some people you don't get along with or policies that you don't like.

Pros

Good pension. Professional and smart colleagues. Company pays 50% of education (as long as they feel it's relevant). As of 2017, I think they are finally fairly competitive in regard to paid vacation. Things have gotten much better since Armstrong took over as CEO.

Cons

Overly conservative in regard to both finances and culture. Too hard to get the resources needed to be effective. Need to work 50 to 60 hours/week, but even then I get further behind every week. Not a good feeling. Money is wasted on non-value-added things to appease senior management activities, such as planting new flower and plants every few months whenever the chairman visits.
