      Pros

      Decent health insurance, Paid time off, 401k and that's pretty much it.

      Cons

      Working several hours of overtime and with little or no notice which is unreasonable for working mothers. They say they provide tuition reimbursement and DO NOT. It is not about your work ethic at this company, it's about who's butt you kiss and who you know. If your a brown noser than you'll have a great opportunity for advancement here. If you're not then you can expect to see people coming in the door that have half the knowledge, skill set, and work ethic that you do move up more quickly.

      Pros

      Huge diversity of businesses, roles, and jobs. Global company. Opportunity to build a breadth of experience building your career.

      Cons

      For last 5 - 8 years, corporation has been run by an accountant. The paternalistic company that employees supported because Cat / Cat leadership supported them is gone. Run by numbers. Employees are fearful.
