      Pros

      Great advancement opportunities. Great health benefits. My boss is very flexible when it comes to getting days off. I can take off more than my two weeks if need be. I can also leave a little early as long as I am getting my work completed. Great team work.

      Cons

      Seems like half of the company is contract. As we are now in our downturn, it seems like most of the contract workers have been let go. We won't get a merit raise next year as well as a bonus. So now we have tons more work to do without being incentive to do more work. But at the same time, you still have a job.

      Pros

      The ability to create the biggest toys on earth. When you find yourself in all places of the world and see that Caterpillar Tractor creating something of value to someone else, it brings great pride. It's also fun to be able to drive them around.

      Cons

      You can become one of many is a sea of people. With so many people that work for this company, it can be difficult to be recognized for contributions.

      Pros

      Salary, Cost of Living (Peoria area), some really smart people (and some not so smart people), career advancement opportunities are good, especially if you have the opportunity to be an ISE, ability to travel, executive management seems to be very good (last few years have shown tremendous growth),

      Cons

      Too formal / professional. Inability of management to reprimand (lay off) poorly performing management employees.
