      Great Experience, Not Enough Innovation

      Pros

      People at PACCAR are very friendly and want to do great work. The management is very focused on creating a quality environment and are family friend. Pension Plan.

      Cons

      The salary is below market rate for Seattle area. They claim to focus on innovation but the employees lack the skills to do so. Extremely lean.

      Pros

      Stable company with decent pay and benefits; there are many great and smart people that work there; lots of opportunity if you're considered high potential and have an MBA

      Cons

      Conservative and traditional company; proper appearance is enforced (suits and ties, hosiery, no heels taller than 3", no beards, etc); work-life balance hard to maintain since you are expected to be in the office at least 8 to 5

      Good Company But Company Culture Doesn't Fit Surrounding Society

      Pros

      PACCAR provides a lot of opportunities for employees. Internal movement is encouraged and managers often consider internal candidates prior to external. The company is stable and consistently shows a profit. Employees and management work hard and it shows. This company is lean but done in a way that works very well. Continuing education is promoted and employees have the opportunity to gain a lot of experience if they choose to.

      Cons

      The culture is still stuck in the 1960's and is pushed from the top down. Men are expected to wear suit and ties, no facial hair, and no visible tattoos. Women are expected to dress the equivalent, leggings if wearing a dress, natural colored hair, and no visible tattoos. Employees are expected to work form 8:00am to 5:00pm at the corporate office which is nice for consistency but is lacking when flexibility is needed. Other offices are on a core hours system which is more appropriate. The dress code doesn't match the surrounding society and PACCAR employees can easily be identified by the style when outside of the corporate office. Few customers dress the same and this becomes obvious during meetings with customers.
