Pros

Steady pay. Good benefits consistent hours. Steady pay. Good benefits consistent hours. Steady pay. Good benefits consistent hours. Steady pay. Good benefits consistent hours.

Cons

Management has no clue what there employee actually does. Horribly unorganized unethical worried more about making themselves look good on paper than actually fixing machines. You can't fix things right because you can't get the parts yet their upset if it breaks again.

Pros

There are no pros working for this company

Cons

The problem is that these guys are slaves to Caterpillar. Caterpillar employees and contractors are demanding and having to fulfill even the most stupid request like setting up an Outlook email even though CAT uses Lotus Notes is mind boggling. In addition the upper management isn't helpful at all and all they do is tell you to look at the documents for certain problems. Terrible company, terrible management and they've fired new employees because they didn't meet their ridiculous standards

Pros

On the positive side, I made many great friends with the people I worked with directly. These are the people who truly deserve all of the credit and benefits for making this company what it is. Also, this may be a good, temporary stopping point for employment for someone just entering the workforce.

Cons

Contract maintenance and IT services. What more can I say? Do not plan on having a lifetime career with this company. If you are one of the best you will either leave at your own will or be let go. Do not stay until you are too old to get a job, because as you top out in your pay-scale, you will eventually be put out to pasture. Promotional opportunities have become more and more of fitting into the “good old boy” system. I truly always looked out for the best interest of the company, and made many sacrifices to become better at my job and to help prepare for a long future with ATS. If this is you, I would suggest not investing a lot of personal time doing this because you will only get burned out and then let go if you show too much desire to move up the ladder. Hiring managers are threatened of people like this.
