Pros
80+ years of profitability, employer paid pension program, 401k match up to 5%. Certainly, has opportunities for growth and training within certain roles, but can depend on your management. New PACCAR North Texas corporate office is kind of stale and generic. Lacks food options besides vending but tries to make up for it by bringing in food trucks or special events.
Cons
PACCAR will never be at the cutting edge of technologies in the automotive areas. In fact, they are happy to remain far at the back of the pack, which may explain how they have maintained their profitability. Many things are still done on spreadsheets and more basic programs. While a lot of the heavy lifting is parceled out to 3rd parties. The path forward in todays environment is quite murky. As a company they are needing a clear direction on where they want to 5-10 years from now. Something more than just "profitable". The CEO touted 2024 as record breaking, and one of the top years in the history of PACCAR, and yet layoffs were done in February '25 with no clear answers or direction as to why. On top of that they use to have 2 days WFH, but last March it was reduced to 1 day, and as you can guess this March it was reduced to zero. Same story as the other, "culture and collaboration". In their original Telecommuting Agreement they stated, "PACCAR understands the need for employees to balance work and life." Apparently, they no longer understand...
