If you like to kiss butts and have no home life then work here

Forced overtime, managers motto is "Nothing is more important than caterpillar because caterpillar pays the bills." Especially in Peoria Cat has this place by the baseballs.

Pros

Great people to work with--I still have some of my best friends to this day even 4 years after leaving CAT. Good salary and nice benefits.

Cons

CAT is a classic slow-moving, tons of red tape, large corporation that you read about in business books. While they do a lot to protect its products, brand, and reputation, sometimes the only thing holding CAT back is CAT itself.
