Caterpillar

I began in Warranty and was able to move up to Quality manager for 5 sites. This company has an open environment - everyone from plant managers to shop personnel are involved in day-to-day activities.

Working at Cat was rewarding in pay but the atmosphere was very stressing. You had to deal with prejudice.

I loved my job at Cat. I had great benefits and hours. I liked weekends off and having a cafeteria on site. I had a very nice boss and i might go back when my kids get 16 so she can drive herself everywhere.

16 years of work history with exceeded expectations on yearly reviews. Myself, and about 2,000 others worldwide, lost our jobs when Caterpillar partnered with Accenture to outsource accounting and finance jobs to India.

Company closed too soon , didn't pay enough money into unemployment, and didn't get a full year of unemployment

Hired in as a temp to hire and worked in valve bodies. I really strived to get hired as a permanent Cat employee as reflected in my attendance and ability to learn my job responsibilities. Although as soon as the military order was completed, 30 employees and I were laid off.

I have worked for Caterpillar 2 different times, same location, different on site staffing agency. 1st was from Jan 2015 to Sept 2015 with Aerotek, they were full of empty promises of conversion to Caterpillar employee, I was laid off along with several others in Sept 2015, still not real sure what happened! 2nd time was just recently with Manpower this year from March to July, great with conversion however unlike the 1st time around with Aerotek, the work/life balance with Aerotek was really good but with Manpower it was horrible.

You can do your job and if it threatens the incompetent supervisors, they'll look for ways to degrade you so you know they are in charge.

majority of employees coming in except to be paid well but they don't want to work. They have no work ethic.

I retired from caterpillar after 30 years of service. It was a very fun and enjoyable journey. I received lots of training, had several opportunities to advance, and the benefits are good. Wages are a little better than other companies in the area.

Caterpillar is a great place to work, because you're building machines that help build roads, buildings and many other structures that will remain for a long time. You're adding a piece to society that will always be a part of the country or city.

A lot of team concept points were always emphasized in order to complete goals for improving quality in order to meet customer satisfaction.

I had broken my knee cap, and ended up running out my short term disability, because they couldn’t accommodate my injury for me to come back to work. I couldn’t afford the surgery I needed, and ended up being terminated without being able to return to work.

dictator managers, promoting friends, low % raises... benefits are good and lunch is provided from time to time.

Worked there for two years and hard to get hired on there. Management lacks communication and they hire who they favor

Work there for nine years till lay off , due to closing the plant enjoyed the time there , made some food friends

I worked for Caterpiller for 20 years. I had increased responsibilities over those 20 years and worked in 5 locations in 2 states.

Hard work and alot overtime. You have to follow companys policies or you will not cut it. Big turn over because of poor attendance.
