      Pros

      Was a very good ride until last few months

      Cons

      Not the same place it was several years ago. Ask anyone....the place has changed and not for the betterment of employees. Upper management has lost sight of what made CAT great

      Don't sacrifice your people for the bottom line

      Pros

      The upper management will do whatever it thinks is best to keep shareholder value up. Salaries are good, and insurance is OK. Benefits used to be much better.

      Cons

      HR is sympathetic sometimes, but they will do nothing to help if you are in a bad situation. The company only cares about the bottom line. People are interchangeable and disposable.

      Pros

      A Fortune 500 company that provides employees lots of exposure to all facets of running a large business and working with multiple cultures for personal growth and to broaden professional experience and background. People are engaging and willing to partner to get the job done. Many staff have long term service anniversaries (+25-30 years) with several mini-career change opportunities during their tenure.

      Cons

      Executive office too focused on stock price and maintaining dividends, and are too willing to cut thousands of experienced staff to hit cost targets during times of lower profit. A conservative MidWest-based company that sometimes struggles with investing in leading IT technologies.
