Business Outlook
Pros
Caterpillar offers very good benefits and most divisions have flexible work schedules. Paid time off is also good with the week between Christmas and New years as PTO that doesn't count against your vacation. The company is global and that makes for interesting people to work with around the world.
Cons
Leadership is weak and archaic. It is a global company with so much potential but with so much of leadership born out of a small midwestern town their vision is severely lacking. It is hard to grow in this company if you aren't "connected" to the good ole boy network.
