How employees describe working at Daimler Trucks North America
Great benefits, okay salary. Good company
Lack of leadership across middle management. Substandard culture that created compliance and ethics concerns.
Working level colleagues are absolute rockstars. Management is awful - basically all individual contributors with a manager / director salary. Needs an overhaul of executives who refuse to act like were in 2025.
customer first culture, great benefits, lots of vacation time
Honestly, the best part is the quarterly attendance bonus and the end-of-year profit sharing. Both of which are good chunks of money that while not constant, it can help for building up savings or making the dollar stretch.
