Receptionist in Oakville, ON
on 11 April 2021
Very productive and supportive team member's
I worked hard to learn as much as possible and move up until I was paid well. Managers are just salesmen who got promoted and never had experience managing people. Be a buttkisser , and you’ll go far in this company!
Engineering Analyst in Chenail-du-Moine, QC

Productive work place
Good workplace, but lack of team feel and job advancement is very poor. Job description before interviewing and after accepting the offer is not the same. Many repetitive and menial jobs for engineers

Be a leader, not a cheerleader.
Management is Choosing status over results. Choosing popularity over accountability. Choosing certainty over clarity. Cultures can be toxic when products never work, core values are flawed, employees are abused, etc., but the one component you typically spot first is where cheerleaders are masquerading as leaders.

Fantastic place to work
The Cat Canada team has the most committed and professional teams I have ever worked with. Starting with the HR process that works very well, very responsive and they really care about the applicant.
Operations Manager in Laval, QC

Inflated sense of their own importance
They don’t appreciate you as an intellectual asset. You are just a tool that is used to get them their numbers. Management is not all there. They always think someone is out there to get them.
