Business Outlook
Pros
Caterpillar has been a great place to work overall. They are very willing to review your career goals and ensure you're heading in the direction you want to go. The base pay and incentive pay are very respectable. Workers are treated with respect and their opinions are listened to.
Cons
The one "con" of working at Caterpillar is, the manufacturing industry is sometimes feast-or-famine (depending on the market demand for product). When it's great it's great. When it's not... it can really be not good. I'm taking voluntary early retirement.
