Pros

-Trucks are an interesting product line to deal with. - Most employees are dedicated and smart. - Company loves cross trained employees; they are willing to let you try new roles outside your comfort zone and you can be promoted to do it. - Minimal office politics and backstabbing, it's not tolerated by management higher up.

Cons

- Culture fit is not for everyone. It's a conservative company; especially for the Northwest. Corporate office is business attire (suit & tie). Facial hair is generally not tolerated. - Company's strong cost control culture can manifest itself in strange ways. - Below market compensation structure. Employee benefits which were very good in years past have eroded to average. Salary has never been better than average.

Pros

They do train their staff quite well, and partially sponsor an MBA to those looking to excel in the company. Professional environment.

Cons

Paccar tends to focus on their inside rules almost more than on performance results. It's a big deal if you're not clean shaven one day, but if you didn't finish the report or are late to a meeting, they just expect you'll do it better the next time around. And careful, the environment can be silently discriminative, in other words, if you're a woman, prepare to be the one who cuts and hands out the birthday cakes on those occasions, or if you're a short asian man, you may never see the top of the company… this is just based on what one sees on the inside.
