Pros

Low traffic, Small city location, Steady pay benefits. Tools provided. Good engineering departments, driver's to support

Cons

Any real time Transportation industry skill growth comes to a halt. Department worked had bad low-level management. Politics large part of issues. Day time supervisor bad mouthing night time supervisor and the department head. Caught in lies etc. Nighttime leadership always in trouble. A lot of negativities left unchecked by senior management. Physical confutations swiped under carpet. HR department fell right into step with the cancer of PACCAR PTC. Good o'l boy mentality. Ya better lean with management. Test drivers are contracted and abused they have to work sixty hors a week and the old timers are good and far in-between. As turnover is high. Always a new guy's damaging equipment or not turning in good data. You have to start out as a contractor unless you know sombody.

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
