Pros

Empire is a values based company that cares for people. Yesterday we celebrated with three forty year employees. That tells a story, especially when a forty year employee has tears in his eyes describing his time at Empire. Empire is a Premier Caterpillar dealer respected world wide by Caterpillar people and customers. If you are an "A" player and want to work with the best, try to get on with Empire Southwest.

Cons

Ours is a demanding business full of "A" players. Some very good people cannot work at the pace that our jobs demand. Empire is not for everyone but it is a perfect fit for "A" players who want to make a difference to our Clients.

Pros

Empire has a legacy of long-tenured employees, great values, and strong guiding principles.

Cons

Empire is a male-dominated company that tends to give special treatment and additional perks to men of equal position, such as company vehicles and advancement opportunities. There are double standards in conduct. There are cases of favoritism - the saying, " it's not what you know but who you know, " definitely applies here.
