"This is a challenging time for the belt systems product group. Acquisition of Bucyrus by Caterpillar has been a culture change. For my small product group, we have to wait our turn behind larger product groups. We want so badly to be Cat, but we will just have to wait a little bit longer."

"Product Support from company is the worst I have ever seen. Being cussed at by upper management I don't tolerate. Discrimination practices by upper management and then HR turns their back on employees. The company itself has good benefits but upper management needs to go back to school and learn proper techniques. The open door policy would be fine if you could get them to answer their phone or even return your phone call."

"While Caterpillar is a well regarded fortune 500 company with amazing products and people supporting it and building it, the lack of decency when addressing its contracted employees seems to be something that should be improved upon."
