PACCAR reviews

For starters, PACCAR handled COVID terribly. Leadership was extremely secretive about everything surrounding COVID and only sent employees home once the governor mandated it (literally people had to leave the office once the governor put out the mandate because we were all at work in person). Men are hired on at higher salaries even if they have less experience in the same positions as women. I saw this happen over and over. Diversity initiatives that actually involve diverse individuals are rare and positive change isn’t happening. PACCAR supports one type of employee and ignored most of the rest (hint: look at the leadership and see if you can find a pattern). I experienced sexist and demeaning remarks from a coworker and was shut down when I brought it up to a manager. I was told that’s just the way things are, and the coworker was favored by management despite complaints from several employees. I was encouraged by a manager at one point to apply outside of PACCAR. I am grateful to have had that person on my team and the advice was honestly good advice, but it says a lot that even managers tell people to look elsewhere. Locations other than the corporate office seem to be a little better, but they all report up through corporate so these issues are everywhere. People are leaving like crazy at every location. Resignations were high when I left and applicants were down. Also, the chairman is honestly just not nice to employees. People were afraid to answer the phone when he called or get into an elevator with him.
