Caterpillar reviews

Many Cat employees and AmerIcan citizens were layed off (and still being) while Visa people were kept. Bad enough they have outsourced most entry level jobs, but like so many other places they are also bringing them here. For the most part because of the pay rates the Visa people get. I've seen Masters at $15 and less / hr. Most of them start as contractor temps, spend a number of years then get hired. I've known of Managers stating (about temps) that he wouldn't hire someone (that had 10+ yrs) because they were hired to be fired. How can a temp job last 10 yrs (and still be there)?

too much fat around the company, its hard to get things done, people might just ignore you or not tell you that your are wrong, but everyone knows who they are so they stay away from them. At the same time, the fat of the company does not seem to be removed during the downturn, in fact it seems like the there is more fat. I heard many people from one of the leadership programs left during the Voluntary Separation Package. As a new employee, that tells me that the management needs to reconsider their options and how they are training their employees.
