Pros

I can't think of any....trying to think of something to fill this section with 20 word minimum requirement. Oh yeah they renovated bathrooms at parts division but failed to add more fans, causing the entire place to smell like turd.

Cons

1. Dress code: suit and tie required but they don't pay decent salary to cover your dry cleaning cost. 2. Recent shareholder meeting: they did it again! Men with facial hair were forced to shave because hairless faces will boost investor's confidence??!? WTF? 3. Incompetent management: most managers spend their time day dreaming in meetings or preparing blue color/themed power point presentations. Their inability to MANAGE work/employees creates HIGH turnover. And of course these people hold on to their jobs or even promoted because accountability is non-existent. 20+ people have left the company in the last year...believe that. 4. Lousy 2% chairmans gift (they don't call it an annual bonus): HR and your manager mandate you sign a thank you card to the chairman for his gracious "gift". If this sounds normal to you, I urge you to move to North Korea. 5. Paccar is so distant from their competitors (3rd in market share, dominated by Daimler Trucks) driving Mercedes automobile will limit your career here. Very comical logic here. Think about other auto manufactures that also makes trucks i.e. Toyota, Volvo, Ford, Mitsubishi. Does this mean you need to skateboard to work?

Pros

Smiles. Opportunity. I felt shamed in my interview due to my education level, but it was made clear to me that they want us, ME, to have more education, more knowledge, and they will help pay for it. 401k plus a pension. Life is perception, if you want support, and can be humble, i believe theybwill hand you the keys to the castle. The entitlement that is not owed but expected by so many, that leads to the poor reviews, and of course the failure of society.

Cons

People are my biggest challenge, again, any cons are based on negativity from people who expect something, they feel entitled. amd maybe the work day, they believe in 7 to 4, 8 to 5 whenever possible, which puts you smack dab in traffic......darn, traffic for 50% off the cost of college expenses.....
