Pros

Mobility between divisions; opportunity to change functional areas or work in different areas.

Cons

Always chasing the next buzzword. Limited development of employees; increased focus on external hires. A lot of excellent talent has left in the last 18 months.

Pros

People are great to work with. We have an awesome Facilities Manager that has been doing her best to encourage employee bonding and morale building. She is a tough lady in a tough economy and still finds a way to encourage others.

Cons

There has been a lot of changes over the past few years since we were bought by Caterpillar, so sometimes change is hard for some to handle. The old timers that have been there for 20 to 40 or more years have had it the hardest.
