Pros

- Steady income (If you want to maintain a standard of living) - Steady work - 401k plan - Medical - Dental

Cons

Career advancement only goes to favorites. Those that do the work are kept in place so supervisors can look good to their bosses. You can work as much or as little as you like but the reward is always the same. Almost every year something is reduced or taken away from benefits. Caterpillar was sold to me originally as being above the rest in wages and benefits. Now we are the with the rest as pay and benefits lag behind.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are good or at least in line with other larger companies.

Cons

Can be a bit of a boys club, especially in the manufacturing facilities. Propmotiona and opportunities are given to people "in" the club and if your not in your opportunities are vaery limited.
