Charles L. Szews
Current Employee – been working at Oshkosh Truck full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – It has a demanding customer, and is a fast paced manufacturer. There are plenty of opportunities for improvements, and the chance to work on many big projects. Products are very cool, and serving the customer is rewarding.
Cons – The expectation of working more hours. Never ending work load and a lack of training. Old-boy network controls promotions, and there is an overall resistance to change.
Advice to Senior Management – Share the wealth, low raises are an insult. Actually show that you value your workforce by listening to them. Maybe consider embracing 20th century (or even 21st!) management methods.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Oshkosh Truck
Pros – Oshkosh truck offers great pay rate and did have a fairly quick raise rate and the benefits package was a great package.
Cons – Despite the good pay rate and the great benefits package, trucks didnt have much room to grow professionally and also management was sometimes horrible in changes that would be made in production lines.
Advice to Senior Management – The feedback I would like to offer is that they should hear more of what the people who actually assemble the parts and work on the line instead of just letting someone who hasnt worked on the line make changes according to some data sheet.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Oshkosh Truck
Pros – The product we build makes a difference in people's lives every day. Nice community, good pay/benefits.
Cons – 10 hour days and a couple weekends a month are an EXPECTED MINIMUM. Change, even change for the better, is very hard to create.
Advice to Senior Management – Quit the blame game and figure out how to get a work-life balance. Decent place to work.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
