Pros

Everyone was very friendly, willing to help you with anything you needed. Many opportunities to learn about the company and the industry. Field trips and special presentations were made for all interns.

Cons

It can sometimes be hard to get in touch with people who are crucial to a project you are working on. There were also several days were there was little or nothing to do. It got a little boring at times.

Pros

Well this was a good place to work I enjoyed it. The pay was good and the environment was friendly. I was let go due to the current economic situation. I would like to go back if things turn around. Overall I would say that this is a great company!

Cons

Peoria is not a great place to live. Well being let go was a huge downfall. I guess that I feel that more planing could have been done to save jobs. Overall I don't have to many complaints about working at caterpillar and would definitely accept a job again if I was offered.
