      Pros

      They are trying to help give people more reason to work here. However, most of the time it falls short.

      Cons

      Most of the old benefits like tuition assistance, cheap healthcare, fringe benefits and general pride have been stripped away.

      Pros

      Great learning experience that you can take anywhere.

      Cons

      Good employees are worked to death in logistics. Management not willing to make the appropriate changes to make things work. If you are good at what you do, it is very hard to transfer to a new position.

      Pros

      The employees who work at Caterpillar are committed to delivering the best most innovative competitive product in each industry they serve. Employees work together to help each other. Integrity is a key value that is honored among the people who work there. Salaries are good and benefit package is comparable

      Cons

      Promotions and advancements are difficult. The rating system is outdated and driven by a suggested quota. Recent layoffs were not handled with intelligence, but were randomly selected. This caused a lot of deep technical skills to be lost.
