Carolina CAT

As a former employee and customer of this CAT dealer I am concerned with the changes that have I have witnessed in the past 3 years. 
New management is hired with little to“zero”heavy equipment knowledge and is now calling the shots when smart, capable, loyal, hard working, safe current employees could step into management or sales positions and run things efficiently and professionally with years of established knowledge. 
This company is not rewarding the hard work and dedication the way it should and the way it once did.
Current employees that know the CAT line of product and have experience with customers should be rewarded with promotions when available but the management in Charlotte does not think so apparently. 
A company gets a good name by having  knowledgeable* friendly, hard-working, dedicated, honest and safe employees that care about the customer, company and believes in the CAT products. This feels to be slipping away and no one in this company is smart enough to see it and take action!
Experienced employees that could make this company the best is the country are leaving this company as I did in 2018 because of the ignorance of management. 
The president of this dealer really needs to take a look at some of these serious issues and take some common sense action and do away with corrupt management if he wants to keep a successful business.

Two years ago it was a great place to work but the morale and benefits have gotten worse over the years. Some stores are better than others when it comes to morale. The Charlotte store has the better morale and the Greensboro store has the worst. Don’t expect to get any rain or snow days, we have had to work in hurricanes and snow. 

The pay is not the best, there are other companies that pay more with the same benefits.

Management plays favorites with employees and customers. There has been multiple occurrences where I have been pulled off a job site to go work on someone else’s machine that is “more important” and then I have to tell customers a lie that was made up by management. They are only worried about numbers and efficiency and will give there favorite technicians breaks to improve there efficiency.

The paid time off and sick/personal days are pretty good though.

This job taught me that you cannot believe what a veteran says to another veteran and you must watch your back around most of the coworkers. They are threatened by new people and look down on people that do not come from the same background as them. They say they give support and understand what someone might be going through. They through them out when convenient for them. They preach company values but then don't follow them when it comes to employees.  

Working for CAT has many ups and downs especially in my field. There are so many demands that need to be met from 11 different facilities within North and South Carolina. Getting good help is virtually impossible in my field. We are having trouble finding good help that can pass the background check and vigorous 2 hour Physical that has to be passed for employment in my department. I would like to get into a company that I can use all of my skills that I have acquired over the years and at a good pay rate.

Best job I ever had.  Family responsibilities caused me to relocate to another state.  I miss the Carolina CAT family.  My colleagues and teammates are the best -- we worked as one team always striving to provide the best product and service to the customer.  And we had fun doing it even in the stressful times.  Management team was outstanding.  A big company now with a small company feel.
I am so thankful for all the opportunity given me while working at Carolina CAT.  


The company has good core values and is managed well. This company does however lack a basic training program for new employees to grasp the company culture and could benefit greatly from this.All of my co-workers were easy to get along with and my immediate manager was very focused on making the company a profit.

Liftone CLT. 
Urgently hiring to replace people urgently leaving.  They’ll  pay a high hourly wage because you wont have enough work to make 40 hours. Management has gone rouge and openly displays favoritism/criticisms creating a toxic work environment. Most technicians lack customer base and consistent work

A good place to work. Pay was good, along with a great benefit package. A little hard to advance with the company, and most of the senior management have come from other dealers, ( their rejects ) so, I wish they would look closer internally for advancement. All bashing aside. It really is a good company to work for.

Good benefits. Good pay. No management in the department I was working in. Seemingly high turn over rate. Friendly staff. Upper management seemed to work out okay, but there was no lower management in my branch for my department.

good place to work with the with some employees but some time you have to deal with some timing ppl. some of the manager will tell you that you are doing a great job but will go to a another assc and say bad stuff about them
