Engaged employer

We build awesome trucks! Unfortunately, the quality of management and many employees is not quite as awesome. :-( - Machine Operator Pierce Manufacturing Employee Review

Pros

If you like working 6 days/week due to forced OT, enjoy piss-poor communication between management and employees, then this is the job for you! Snarky comments aside, I actually very much enjoy my work. Many of the people I work with are talented and dedicated, but there are also far too many that just go through the motions and collect their undeserved paycheck every two weeks. Ifbi had to list pros: I get paid for working so that's a plus. I get to work independently without someone constantly watching over what I do. I get a benefit package. (Overall, it's pretty lackluster, but there is some upside.) I get to go home at the end of the day.

Cons

Poor communication Management is unengaged Too many employees rewarded simply for showing up. Hard work and dedication is rarely noticed and is not rewarded. The employee with an efficiency rating more than 140% of department average receives the same salary increase as someone working at 50-60% of department average. Pi** poor attitudes throughout the company. Too much forced overtime. For the amount of hours we put in every week, vacation is slow in coming for new hires and takes a long time to accrue any reasonable amount.

Pros

If you have the ability to troubleshoot machinery and like it, then you will do well.

Cons

If you are not a driven person to repair machinery on your own and want to learn more, then don't apply here. You will struggle!

Pros

Product, Customers, and it is never dull. I enjoy my work and the opportunity to build a broad technical understanding in a variety of areas. If you like old school professional relationships with sales people and customers, this is a great fit. Many people build lasting and strong relationships across out dealerships and customer base.

Cons

We are growing our manufacturing capabilities quickly, a lot of change is happening and that can be stressful. Leadership often sets goals that seem unachievable, which creates an environment of frustration in those periods. There has been a lot of movement in leadership, both from turnover, and from natural succession. This is adding to the pressure already existing from the growing throughput expectations and other big changes.
