Pros

Excellent quality of life, as far as them valuing the employees work/life balance. Decent pay for the area... in the upper 75% for the industry.

Cons

Several levels of mid-management throughout all departments do not belong in their positions. Promotions based more on experience and connections that quality of work.

Pros

Western States is committed to fostering long-term careers. I began my journey at the wash rack and encountered numerous opportunities for advancement. With dedication, diligence, and a positive mindset, this company offers a solid foundation for professional growth. Every day presents an opportunity to demonstrate your value.

Cons

Caterpillar products serve a complex industry, and each role requires keen attention to detail and ongoing training to deliver exceptional service.

Pros

None. Management is lazy, they leave whenever they want to and put the work on everyone else. Pay is trash, benefits are trash, and pretty much every higher up there is a waste of space.

Cons

Sexist, discrimination, favoritism, and just plain lazy.
