Dynacraft plant

Business Outlook

Pros

Dynacraft (a division of Paccar) has a mentoring program that, when it works, provides the employee with guidance towards improving within the company and a strategy for achieving those goals. Unfortunately, when a mentor is promoted (or resigns) they are not replaced, and one is left to muddle through the best one can. There are a lot of supervisors who care about their team members, sometimes it's enough.

Cons

There is a serious disconnect between first and second shifts.Not only in the way they are treated and in what is expected of them, but also in the consequences of not meeting those expectations. Currently the plant is moving to an emphasis on first shift production, with second shift backing, without seeming to even NOTICE that first shift can not, or will not build at quota. Meanwhile, they move more build teams to first shift, but production does not change. The problem will not be solved with more builders, if the supervisors remain the same.

Pros

Job security, if you want to be a lazy worker while never having to worry about getting fired, this is the place for you.

Cons

Male dominated, poor salaries, outdated technology, conservative culture, poor work-life balance, poor vacation policy, conservative & outdated dress code, zero flexibility to work from outside the ugly/depressing cubicle packed office, zero diversity (which they actually encourage! A typical question when hiring is: "Do they fit the PACCAR culture?" ...aka: "Will they drink the cool-aide?"), low worker morale.
