DEUTZ

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at DEUTZ was the people and the benefits. I appreciated working alongside supportive colleagues and building relationships across teams and locations. The benefits package was also a strong positive and reflected the company’s investment in its employees, which made a meaningful difference in overall job satisfaction

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of structured training, clear SOPs, and consistent support, which often resulted in being expected to perform at a high level without adequate guidance. Leadership practices were resistant to change, and longstanding issues were frequently acknowledged but overlooked rather than addressed, contributing to high turnover. Once individuals gained visibility at higher levels, accountability felt inconsistent, which created inequitable experiences across teams. This environment increased workload, burnout, and the feeling of being set up to fail rather than supported to grow.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
DEUTZ had many talented employees with strong leadership qualities, but those behaviors were not consistently modeled or reinforced across the organization. While the 5Ts were promoted as part of the culture, they were rarely practiced in a meaningful or consistent way. Team dynamics were often weak, and favoritism influenced opportunities and accountability. As a result, the stated values did not always align with day-to-day experiences, which created frustration and eroded trust within teams

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day involved managing multiple priorities at once, responding to urgent requests, and adjusting plans as new issues arose. Much of the work required figuring things out independently due to limited documentation or standardized processes. Collaboration depended heavily on who was available or visible, and days often shifted quickly based on leadership direction or staffing changes. The pace was fast, and flexibility was essential to keep work moving forward

As Branch Manager of Deutz Power Center West, I am responsible for managing the daily operations of my facility, including oversight of the Dealer product support network in our territory.  During my 30-year career of managing, the biggest piece of advice I give to new managers is to always lead by example. As a manager, I believe in the importance of treating your employees with respect and giving them the tools and training needed to be successful within the organization.  It's very important to me to have an open-door policy with all employees and colleagues.  The most enjoyable part of my job is helping co-workers throughout the organization and striving to exceed our customers' expectations.

In my eleven years with Deutz, I have learned from the best of the best which has allowed me to gain a wealth of knowledge about the diesel engine business. Deutz follows the "home-grown" approach with their employees. What I mean by that is the company believes in investing in their employees' growth to prepare them for the next step in their career. The employee needs to work hard, be a team player, and always take on a new challenge or opportunity to learn something new each day. 

Our employees are the individuals who make "the magic" happen on a daily basis for our customers and our organization. Employees should be recognized for their hard work, even if it's a simple "Thank You" that may put a smile on their face. A positive workplace culture is also important and is more achievable when you strive for great teamwork between the management team and employees. Everyone working together and communicating leads to an enjoyable place to work which ultimately leads to obtaining branch goals. The most challenging part of the job is capturing more work from our customers and doing everything in my power as a manager to exceed your branch numbers. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Poor leadership, turnover ratio is extremely high. They don't handle employee complaints well. Many HR issues ongoing and grievances filed that are not being addressed. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Inconsistencies in messaging across the board. No clear leadership. The turnover with staff creates overwhelming demands. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good for minorities. They are paid less, work more, and are critiqued more than their white counterparts. They are also documented more often than their white peers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful.  Training individuals who were hired to do a job they were not prepared for. Considering training is not part of my job description.

Working at DEUTZ offers a unique blend of challenges and rewards that make every day exciting. The leadership team here truly understands the value of each employee, fostering an environment where innovation and teamwork are not just encouraged but celebrated. 

The benefits package is comprehensive, ensuring that we're well taken care of, which in turn allows us to focus on delivering our best work. When I needed to take time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the process was handled with such care and efficiency that it really underscored the company's commitment to its workforce. It's this kind of support that enhances our professional satisfaction and personal well-being.

I worked for this company for 4 months, which in my position was considered a long time. First, never take the recruiters words for truth. When first getting a job, they will have a recruiter contact you, and his job is to fill your head with lies to get you to come in. I was told I would work 6-2:30 Monday-Friday, and ended up working 5-4 most days and some Saturdays. Then, I was told I would come in as a full time employee. My first day,I get sent to a temp agency and 4 months later I'm still a temp with no benefits. Finally, my job was taken out from under me after management had told me my job was safe 2 days prior. The company will just feed you lie after lie...would not recomend

What is the best part of working at the company?
I like to work,and servicing customers is what I get satisfaction. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being ignored by the manager,and when you do a great job in your position, forget about moving or getting a promotion if that position has pay rate cap. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At f instead it was okay. But there is nepotism in the work place.Many employees leave due to nepotism.

Working with the customers on the Deutz engine product was great. However DPC Great Lakes , Elgin, IL management has no clue how to manage even making a sandwich. Deutz benefits are outstanding but it is over shadowed by a absolutely terrible management team. At that location there is no appreciation for what or how repairs are made. If you are a professional I would stay away from this location. 

I’ve been a mechanic at a few different companies, DEUTZ by fat has the best work environment. Shop is very clean and great equipment. Brand nee company trucks as well. Pay is good. What I don’t like is when they hire people with less experience than you for more money. A little demoralizing. Also, doesn’t seem to be a ton of upward mobility. Great benefits and 401k. Overall, its a good place to be.

Joined this company a few years ago.  My pay was very good, benefits very good, they give you 1% toward retirement for free, and match up to 3.  Automotive type culture, with some German thrown in.  Most employees are American especially on the manufacturing side of the business.  Some long days during the busy season, but well worth taking a look at.
