Caterpillar Associate Engineer in Peoria, IL:   (Current Employee)

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.

Advice to Senior Management

My boss is great and I would let him know that he should never leave his job because he is great at it.

Yep, most if not all, but go and count the "Visa" people still there.
