Pros

Great Benefits Training Opportunities Opportunity to work for various sites in different locations

Cons

Progression is based on duration in role and not work completed successfully Starting to feel like a PR company as they do not follow their own ethos but will state they do to satisfy public opinions Little to no work life balance since return to office scheme... defeats the ethos of Trust and Integrity that they love to claim they possess without caring about the impact it could have to their employees and their personal lives Leadership stay in an ivory tower making decisions without knowing the impact... they will deny flexible working applications but will not have a meeting to discuss their reasonings for denying the flexible working Can work for a site and contribute to their KPI for that year but will not allow employee to claim the sites STIP Uniform not provided, will have to buy through CAT merchandise store Outsourcing too much prevents employees from learning new skills due to the many different teams and language barriers

Pros

Good health insurance and benefits, good yearly bonuses. The pay is good.

Cons

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
