"The answer for my relationship with my supervisor was with my service manager and not the branch manager. The branch manager at the Mason City branch I'd rather not comment on.The company is based out of Minneapolis and the company as a whole is a good company, except the branch manager at Mason City."

Caterpillar Employee

"Caterpillar is a great company with great benefits and lots of wonderful people. I like to think that the experience I had at the North Little Rock facility is an outlier stemming from inexperienced management and a far-flung location. Should I ever have another opportunity to rejoin CAT, I would likely take it."

QA Engineer

"I have worked at Caterpillar for two years through an agency. Workers at Caterpillar can expect to work with some leading edge technologies. The sheer scale of Caterpillar products can be awe-inspiring. Caterpillar can be quite aggressive at keeping salaries low. Caterpillar also has issues with internal communication at times, but that might be unavoidable in a corporation of Caterpillar's size."

Safety Coordinator

"I love the position but it does not allow for advancement. This is an 800 billion dollar company and training within is done by people that are employees, and that training is not specialized enough for some of the positions that are filled. Some of the employees want a union and for myself I do not agree. I have left the position because of the way some are advanced and good positions are filled."
