Caterpillar reviews

most employees have relatives also in management. Lots of sons with dad's as VP's, Department Heads,etc. . . also work at Cat. In other words, about 40% of the the employees working in Peoria have one ofrthe more of the following "qualifications": 1. Grew up on Peoria 2. wen to Bradley, UI, or ISU 3. One or both Parents work at Cat 4. Father/Mother is department head, VP or other influential manager. 5. Nepotism is prevelent if you look closely. Very abnormal for a fortune 200 Company that says it values Diversity. 6. International assignments largely are now being filled with candidates from local countries. 7. 65% of Peoria community has not traveled overseas, or even lived outside of Peoria their whole lives. 8. Chicago, and St. Louis are 3 hours away

CAT over-hired and over-paid during COVID rebound and are low on cost cutting options with 47’s tariffs (but glad to support the ballroom boondoggle). Meanwhile, they’re bring forced to prop up their overpriced commercial real estate leases since many of their institutional investors own these buildings. So they aim to cut headcount and save cost by forcing RTO. Twenty year expert veterans of the company are leaving for refusing to wear diapers while mediocrity sticks around. Not exactly a winning long term strategy. When I get a “Straight from Joe” note, it goes straight to the trash.
