Caterpillar Employer Reviews

A great place to work in. The employees get along well with one another. Flexible schedule.

I was a Section Manager over a assembly line that builded genorators. Pay and benefits was good but disciplinary actions was not consistant. I got to travel meet new people and attend some college courses during my time there.

Work was steady and decent. While I was there they however never hired any temps in, despite interviews and possible job offer. Temps weren't treated quiet the same as hired employees.

My profile is more focussed on marketing,i have developed good network of contacts in oil & gas market. I am able to engage well with my customers & they are happy to receive me.
My colleagues are supportive & we trust each other.
Lack of respect & support for internal growth from management is hardest part of job.

Meeting new customers & learning – more... from each other is best part of job which i enjoy. – less

I did not find this job to rewarding because it was too much politics. Only thing I like about the job was the pay and benefits. They also did not care about you as a person.

The job was a good job. The benefits were good and my coworkers were good. They need better management.

Typical day is running 5to6 presses producing,inspectingand cleaning mount parts. I've learned a great deal of integrity and team work, also safety. The hardest part of the job is coming home safely every day. Best part is coming home to family.

1. A typical day at work is to proactively seek for ways to save the organization money
2. I learned how to be a problem solver and how to identify waste in processes
3. The management team is very diverse and open to new ideas that positively impact the bottom line
4. My co-workers are very engaged in building an iclusive environment where each team – more... member's idea matters and is valued
5. The hardest part of the job is engaging process owners to be proactive in identifying waste in their processes
6. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that I add value when I discover waste in processes and eliminate them – less

I learned a lot working at caterpillar, the global mining market crashed and i was laid off after 2 years along with 1200 other people

Good, large, company that was struggling when I worked for them. Many rounds of layoffs accord that year. Worked in testing department, no much variety to what I did.

Good company to work for a typical day consist of picking parts, pulling orders, transferring tractor parts to assembly line.

I was a temporary worker, and needed full time employment. I liked my job, but little opportunity for advancement where I was at.

great pay, learned alot about assembler, mechanical work, painting, hard working off shifts with a family, great health insurance, all in all a great place to work when there is work and not having to deal with numerous lay offs

A typical day at work would be starting with a meeting in the breakroom with all managers and team leaders on mondays beginning the work week. overviewing errors within the week and do's and dont's. Visuals of errors performed on work floor, and the correct job procedures to get job right. Rewards and sales would be communicated along with upcoming – more... hiring jobs, and classes. As well as promotions and upcoming projects of new products. Every day would be a team meeting with your facilitator and team leads overviewing the production side of the business. Defects would be dicussed and how to prevent defects. You would then be off to your assigned work station where you would follow correct work information of steps by using computer planograms in step by step order of work process and visuals showing exactly what to do. The management team was awesome and always lending a helping hand. Every individual employee would be team oriented in involvement with other work stations once completed with their work within the day. The hardest part of the job is the full rememberance of every tool, and part needed to get the job done fast, efficiently, and defect free. Sometimes you maybe called to hot test if you have a broken O-ring which causes leaks, not always avoidable. Once you remember all parts, steps, and tools needed its a very fast paced, highly motivated and fun working environment. Always offering open doors of improvement and promotions to all employees. – less

Enjoy working here.international perspective, bringing the right people together to accomplish big-picture goals and achieve results

Very busy most of the year and lots of overtime.Lots of different jobs to learn and great people to work with.One thing that is # 1 value is Safety and the people made sure it was a safe work enviroment.

Would not recommend anyone to this company for a career. After 8 years of service i am treated like a new hire. When you work hard and give them all you have, they do not even give a thanks, but point out any little mistakes. If you need a job, it pays the bills, but they have lost their values toward their workers.

This is a great company to work for, great benefits and decent pay. I would suggest this company to people.

This is a great Company to work for, the management listens to employees,takes time to help if possible. They value the company and it's goals.

Caterpillar was great. Working there really improved my writing and editing skills. There was something different to do every day.
