Pros

1. They have been around for 100+ years, thus making them a stable company. 2. Paccar has standard benefits, health insurance premiums are a bit high, but parking is free if you park at the mall.

Cons

1. Total mens club, if you are younger or a women you literally get glared at in the elevator daily. 2. Technology is outdated.. they are still using office 2010.... 3. There is no training...you have to learn how to do things yourself and if you do not get it done, someone will "bark" at you" 4. Do not count on getting a raise of more then 2% even if you go above or beyond, there is a lot of politics that go into performance reviews. 5. They do not offer perks like most companies such as free orca cards, free coffee/water in the breakroom Don't be fooled by how they present the company to you, they only show the positive , but once employed you learn the reality about the company.

Pros

Better than average benefits -401K with 5% match, pension plan, several health ins plans to choose from with FSA option, life & disability ins. If you're fortunate enough (and I do stress Fortunate), you'll have an experienced manager who knows how to effectively steer the team. They will give the tools & set the precedent to encourage the team to strive to be their best. Manageable workload depending on your position. Company has implemented additional team building opportunities, so there's a chance to work with people outside your department. Company is willing to be more accommodating and has made some changes based off the most recent Employee Survey.

Cons

Disenchanted employees who want to make it public are a distraction & a drag on morale. Some depts are spread very thin. Pay and raises should be higher considering the ongoing knowledge necessary to do your job effectively. Company absolutely refuses to retire the professional dress code. High manager turnover in some depts, so if you have a good one, count on them being in the dept short-term as they will likely be moved within the company.
