      Pros

      Good base salary for most employees.

      Cons

      Company overhill is going downhill due to being so antiquated. Every year benefits are worse. Pay is intentionally high for your title in order to make it difficult to leave the company. If you're caucasian male do NOT go to this company as you'll have near zero opportunities for advancement.

      Its A Job....

      Pros

      Cat wasn't always so bad to work at but it's gotten a lot worse. It helps when you have good supervisors which I've only had 2 out of 4 total. The pay is decent but could be better.

      Cons

      I have a lot of disagreements with how management runs this place. The union is useless around here unless you're on the manufacturing side. A lot of favoritism and for the work you do I believe it should be more. It's hard to move up within the company unless you have a degree or know someone higher up that's willing to put in a good word for you. The people that work hard around here don't usually go anywhere further. There's lack of appreciation from management. There's really no work/home balance. The company as a whole keeps laying off but can give the CEO a raise which makes no sense.
