      Good first job out of collage. Stepping stone.

      Pros

      Cat offers good hours, vacation time, sick time, and is flexible in hours if you have something you have to do that day.

      Cons

      There is not much opportunity to advance. Managers play favorites and do not give much credit to hard working employees. Job security is not good and layoffs happen regularly.

      Pros

      Benefits, pay for management employees, culture

      Cons

      More bad leaders are being promoted than good ones. Singular vision to cut costs at employee expense while executives vote in their pay raises.

      Pros

      Good pay, decent benefits (good insurance), flexible hours, great people (non management)

      Cons

      WAY too much work for the staff on hand, training not provided when necessary (I was actually told I had to learn something myself that was critical to finishing a project on time), management is clueless
