Pros

The Company is amazing & the pay is great, the staff is wonderful and understanding and I definitely enjoyed my time at Caterpillar Inc. I would definitely recommend it to those who are looking.

Cons

They have quotas as far as goes that people are required to meet a per hour and after doing 246 picks per hour and mandatory overtime every day; you burn out literally as your numbers decline and write up can incur. Mandatory is required daily, and quotas are expected to be met no matter the other duties you are assigned. During my time there we were understaffed and expected to meet growing demand while wearing other job hats which led to a high turnover rate and an even greater demand for higher quotas. I believe that they are in the process of addressing this issue with corporate; however, I just got burnt out.

Pros

Good health insurance and benefits, good yearly bonuses. The pay is good.

Cons

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
