Pros

Large company, some work can be challenging but some can be very easy

Cons

everything is so tedious. Conservative management leads to slow moving change. Multiple layers of approval are required for the smallest things. IE a 25 dollar purchase has to be approved through 3 levels of management.

Pros

it's close to home,relaxed atmosphere,but that's changing since Cat took over for another company

Cons

ceo makes 20million a yr and all they do is take from employees. portray their selves as a family,our core value, team all lies. Push older emloyees out. Disagree ask a question THEY'LL GET RID OF YOU. Big on political correctness,but it's a scam for show.Even skilled craftsmen are told their just workers not worth a good wage.
