frustrating rental services department

Business Outlook

Pros

benefits package met some great people

Cons

- lack of rental inventory both Allied & CAT - commission plan - upper management - NO ONE has rental industry experience outside of Caterpillar which leads to a certain amount of arrogance and resistance to change in improving rental services: the ole "we've always done it this way" mentality which is fine if you are satisfied with being a nominal player in the equipment rental industry. - upper management is reluctant to listen to advice from people with rental industry experience outside Caterpillar and if they do happen to make a change, there is no recognition for the idea. everybody is more worried about protecting their little piece of the pie instead of improving the rental division.

Great pay, detrimental to the body.

Business Outlook

Pros

benefits and pay are great. most co-workers are great.

Cons

management doesn't care about there employees, the dollar matters more. They put time standards on everything and its nearly impossible to meet them safely, so a lot of people abuse there body's to make them i.e. instead of using cranes to pick up 100+lbs parts you just have to lift it because the cranes slow everything down and makes you blow way past the time standards.. Then supervisors aren't happy. I don't suggest it to anyone. the pay may be great, but if your in pain everyday from herniated disks etc. then you wont be able to go spend it anyways.
