"PACCAR is a fortune 130 company, with more than 80 years of profitability. They claim to be a technology company but are truly a close follower.

Therefore people get promoted by looking good, not understand how the operation works.As a result, goals a vague, impossible to achieve, but non-managers are held to them.Management direction is top down and will not accept lower employee's know more than Sr. Leaders.Very difficult place to work if not a long term career PACCAR employee."
