Pros

It has a very family feel in most areas. This has positives as you want your coworkers to look good as well as yourself. Support staff is crazy good and cares like they would if they owned the company. IT Department will drop what they are doing to help you so you are able to do your job.

Cons

Company is top heavy. Managers that manage no one. Shortage of service techs because managers are having to do things upper management requires which comes down to micromanaging and a huge waste of time causing techs to look for new jobs. Pay isn’t bad but a huge slap in the face when average raises are 3-5%. Cost of living goes up that much anyway so if you bust your tail all year and your raise just means you can pay for gas to get to work. There used to be a 2.5% cost of living raise everyone received plus a merit raise. If that doesn’t return soon there will be a high number of employees leaving - a good work environment is great but if you can’t pay your electricity bill it’s time to move on. Very easy to make up the cost of living raises by cutting the fat checks at the top and sit in their office randomly sending out emails on things we all already know. Happy employees who aren’t worried about their bills getting paid are more productive. Invest in your people - with money. The atta boy doesn’t mean anything if you are worried if you can pay your bills each month. Also the cost of living in San Antonio is lower than DFW. Cost of living raises should reflect that.

Pros

Caterpillar Equipment is the premium brand in the Construction industry.

Cons

Sales and Operations Management is only interested in their numbers, people not appreciated nor valued. Bottom line only with no regard to employee well being . As their name states...Its All about them first. Employees last

Pros

The work culture is better than most other companies. Most employees are caring.

Cons

Very little room for advancement, no cost of living adjustments, no or little pay raises. Pay is good for new hires but not tenured employees. Cutting expenses at the wrong places. Need to re-evaluate pay structures and benefits. Don't pay under qualified employees, more than seasoned veterans.
