PACCAR reviews

Finanically they take a very short sighted view, looking at only the current quarter and year and starving investment in some basic things to make people's jobs easier or get cost savings in the long term. Focus on product is good, but actually getting tools to help do the rest of operations easier never get done. The downside of people staying there so long is that they lack original ideas, and have trouble moving forward because people who have been there a long time will never be fired and so can be totally ineffective without being dealt with.

Limited authority to make decisions at any level below Controller Senior Management directs actions and strategies without (or with limited) input from professional staff. This is very dissatisfying as we have often already set the course of action being recommended, but now management believes we are taking these actions because we were directed, there is no recognition that we can contribute as a team. Inadequate, aging computer equipment. While this does not prevent me from doing my job it significantly lessens my effectiveness and efficiency. Poor to non-existent work / life balance. No recognition from management of the additional efforts in additional time and weekends worked to meet increasing workload and compensate for poor systems capability.
