Navistar, Inc. Employer Reviews

Management has steered this company off a cliff and continues to do so even know they paint a rosy picture. If you're a person who strives for the best and wants to express ideas, Navistar is not the place for you. If you like hearing, this is the way we've always done it then Navistar is the place for you. Oh, and if your daddy worked for Navistar, – more... sign up now because you'll have job security until your son or daughter are old enough to work there. – less

I found my experience with SST Truck to be rewarding both professionally and personally.

When I took the job it was a "closed door" environment and I worked to open that door and have more interaction with the supervisor teams and employees. I feel that this endeavor was a sucess and enriched the experience of all.

The most enjoyable aspect of my – more... job was seeing a positive team atmosphere that grew and extended beyond the finance department where I was integrated.

The hardest part of my job has been seeing our plant close.

I learned so much with Navistar and hope my positive experience and gained skills become an asset to my next employer. – less

I worked in two different departments while at Navistar, accounting and human resources. Accounting from 2001- 2006 as payroll accountant processing biweekly, weekly and monthly payroll for staff of approximately 550 employees. Also served as billing accountant to invoice cusomters for diesel engines or parts shipped to customers. Human Resources from – more... 2006 -2008 as HR Coordinator doing in processing of new employees from job creation to offer letters, managed short term disability benefits and payments, created and maintained personnel files for medical documents, training documentations, benefits and other confidential files. I was also attempting to work on finishing my college degree by taking night and weekend classes, but the process was taking too long. I had been told I could not be promoted until I had my bachelor's degrees, so in August 2008 I resigned and returned to school full time, completing my degrees in May 2010. – less

Great company that allowed me to grow and own my department. Company has many opportunities to grow and challenge individuals.

Great company to work for. The management and employees were all great to work for. They care about their employees and the benefits were absolutely fabulous.

My typical day at Navistar start with my responsible for picking up 65 lbs. air compressor to prep for I6 engine. Scanning air compressor to main computer for accurate syncing with engine. Connecting all hoses, nuts, and bolts to air compressor with clinch wrench for installation to engine. Connecting all clap to all hoses to make sure no leak, slip, – more... checking building ticket for engine work order, and assembly. Using power tool for torching nuts and bolts to air compressor. Prepping, installing dip stick to engine. Build and assemble manifold. Stocking area at all time, cleaning area at all time, and maintain working area at all time.

I learned alot of knowledge of engine assembly, and keeping up with a fast pace enviroment.

Management did not care about their employers and take hard work for granted.

The hardest part of the job is when the line go down, sent home early some day.

The most enjoyable part of the job were the many friends that I made at the company. – less

The lean team at Navistar was very pro active in updating new parts in Baan. We impelment Kanban replenishment system in IKS(system side) and on the shop floor(physical). The lean experience was exciting, with excellent team members and always looking for opportunities to solve.

A typical day at Navistar is driving around on a taylor dunn and pulling orders, loading and unloading trucks. I have learned to be more efficient with my warehouse skills though.

Very process oriented, going through management realignment, so the work day tends to be a bit hectic (as of the time of my leaving).

Product development and lots of work.

No methods development or training provided currently, may bounce back sometime in the future

Little experience left in this company.. mostly new hires

Campus is beautiful and amenities are fantastic.. unfortunately job satisfaction is minimal

I was offered a job and the company retracted it due to me having slight pain in my hands and wrist. He informed the company that I couldn't do my job. Mind you this is the same job I have been doing for the past 15 years. They wouldn't let me get a second opinion, or even review the so called doctors findings.

Great management and very organized workplace. Tech support analyst department is a great area to work in. I work on cases for dealers with problems finding the right parts, so I have to look up on my computer what they are trying to find which includes reading blue prints and knowlege of several computer programs such as IKnow and CAD. I deal with – more... getting people the right part information by dealers emailing the company and also take phone calls from dealers needing the accurate asap which could be a truck broke down and in a hurry to find what they are looking for. You need to be self sufficient and have great people skills and have the knowlege of blueprint reading. Great company to work for I highly recomend them. They have a fully equipped gym and showers, restaurants on location, starbucks, Dunkin Doughnuts and a dry cleaning service. Awesome lunchrooms away from work area that you wont be disturbed with work while on your break. All over I would give the place an A PLUS!!! You need to be a dedicated worker for this job and are able to be challanged! – less

A typical day at work was a past faced environment, learned a lot about heavy duty vehicles here. Management was great but depending which department you were in. It was a manufacturing plant and being there was never a dull moment. Always had something going in that needed to get done in a fast turnaround time frame.

The management and the crew are really self reliant. They did not help me with much. I was just shown where to go and what to do when I got there

Lots of work currently, understaffed and underpaid. I have learned that working for very large companies isn't as great as it seems. Co-workers are great, corporate headquarters are more than plush. Great facilities.

Rotating through various departments to learn about business as a whole.

Too many short work weeks, do to part shortages. Hard to live when you don't work 40 hours. The most enjoyable part of my job was my co-workers. The hardest part of my job was trying to stay busy. It makes for a long day when you are creating work.

Hi tech and very automated. Lots of overtime. I work 70 to 80 hours per week.

The most important thing I have learned since working at Navistar is the importance of treating people well.
