      Pros

      I had the privilege of befriending some of the most generous and kind hearted people I ever met at PACCAR--they long since retired. I believe Mark Pigott is doing his best to keep the company afloat and moving forward. I don't know too many people who volunteers to decline a bonus that was well over 7 figures.

      Cons

      Pay is a bit light for the worker bees. Promotions are few and far between but work never stops. There are two kinds of people there--fresh out of college or soon to be retirees. The juniors level staff are too young to know better or they know this it is a good stepping stone job. The soon-to-be retiree level staff are just counting the days waiting to get their pension and move to warmer climate. Lots and lots of gold bricking...

      Pros

      PACCAR has a proven track record to make money each year. The annual goals are clearly defined for the employee so expectations are clear.

      Cons

      PACCAR is a for profit company and will work the employees very hard. Keep that in mind when making a career decision at PACCAR.

      Extremely conservative culture

      Pros

      Very good market position, strong financials and stock value. Products are very good, and the culture definitely focuses on quality.

      Cons

      Tenure matters above actual work capabilities. Culture is extremely conservative in dress, hours, financials, and how to get things done. There are huge dichotomies between areas that are very well run and areas that are extremely ineffective. Chairman likes to talk about PACCAR being a "technology innovation company", but that's just a marketing position. Actual technology is archaic, and there is no desire from management to change that. .
