      Pros

      good benefits and pay compared to other manufacturers in the area, also much better working conditions, the upward mobility seems more likely also

      Cons

      It is a large company that has a union labor force, the union can protect employees who need to be fired, but also help ensure better pay, etc. for everyone else so it's a toss up, not a lot of cons really

      Caterpillar is very well run financially, but the culture won't be comfortable for everyone

      Pros

      Caterpillar offers great compensation, in terms of base salary and bonus compensation which is tied to company performance. You may not find higher compensation anywhere else for a same-level job.

      Cons

      Peoria is very conservative and not very diverse. The Caterpillar culture is not very welcoming toward outsiders, and the company's non-discrimination policies, while inclusive of LGBT people, is not supported through the offering of same-sex domestic partner benefits. Housing prices in Peoria are disproportionately high compared to similar US cities.
