Pros

Great People, great product, great dealer and customer focus, positioned well for future growth, interesting travel opportunities, high skill level in most people.

Cons

Company dropped from $68B to $38B in last three years. Continue market recovery issues and major decision mistakes have hurt company. 30,000 people removed over last few years. If coal, oil and China recover, company will do well. Terrible feel to work environment with so many people removed. Loss of highly skilled managers may not bode well for long term. Company in slow, but continual, move toward overseas that will only spell more issues for US based employees.

Pros

You are treated with autonomy, dignity, and respect. It is assumed you know how to do your job and are given the trust and means to do so. Compensation is above market value. Uncapped professional growth if you know how to play your cards right.

Cons

Working at Burger King and living from my car in Northern Michigan during the middle of winter was preferable to working on-site in Peoria. Project work was inherently meaningless and dictated almost entirely by the caste system this company has in Central, IL. My relocation had absolutely nothing to do with the role at hand and was a power play by management to get me to become a bleed-yellow Peorian in the CAT-corporate social club. The company loyalty here is absolutely disgusting and has nothing to do with the viability of the brand or product. Everyone is enamored with the status and wealth they've attained on account of not performing hard, manual, life-threatening labor. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who actually cares about what goes on in the defense division or addressing the geopolitical anomalies between the former headquarters and the new business direction of the company.
