Ohio CAT

Ohio CAT as a whole is generally a good place to work with generous bonuses from time to time. Rate of pay is sufficient mainly because it's bargained for most. Communications from corporate on the current status and direction of the company is adequate. The problem starts at local level management that the company is oblivious to and there are consequences for taking things to the next level. It will not be in your best interest to dispute non compliance issues of the bargaining agreement with local management as there will be consequences to that as well. All is well if your one of the elder employees, the rules don't apply to you, your protected by being a member of the "good ole boys" club. If you enjoy locally being micromanaged and secretly watched from behind doors and walls, this is the place for you.

The overall philosophy of the company is good in theory. However, there are a few members of the management that seem to have made it a goal in life to assert their dominance over any subordinate. I witnessed several good employees move along to other companies solely based on management issues. The benefits are good, and they do pay fairly, but when you literally are stressed every day about how you will be talked down to by your managers is draining. Issues that were brought to HRs attention seemed to swiftly be swept under the rug so as not to alert the upper management, who I truly believe would fix the problem if they were made fully aware of what was happening.

I am an employee for Ohio Peterbilt these past one should I read this is stuff they don't work there they would have never said what they said on there management is terrible it is a nightmare to work there hey text manager runs around like a loose cannon cat has been called about it but will not investigate been there four years nine people got pushed out by you did not get a monthly bonus I don't know where that come from each department does not work well together I've seen a lot of good body men come and go all the Shelf since I've been there it's been a shame that they are allowed to mess with people's lives and careers the way they do I would stay away

My typical day started with a all supervisors meeting at 0630.
Shop opened at 0700. I'd have pre-job safety briefing each day (10 minutes) then off to work.

What I learned was how to deal with the public, This was the first job that I had that dealt with not only internal customers but external customers as well. I really enjoyed working with the public.

I had eleven Techniains. all very good at there skills. it was nice to be supervisor and friend.

Dealing with customers who were dissatisfied with thier bill, mad yelling,etc

Seeing the faces on the sastisfied customers

The monthly business goals were exciting to reach and to share with the team. Great people at the branch levels to work with. Corporate people were great. Really enjoyed working with them. Very helpful. I learned a lot. Would’ve still been there except I made some foolish decisions that should have never tried. Once brought to my attention I knew that staying there was no longer an option so I resigned my position. Left there and took a job at a local Kenworth dealer and became a better person. Realizing the mistakes I made and never did them again. Ohio Cat is a great company to work for and if given a chance to go back there, I would.

Company itself is good. But management at the Cincinnati branch is awful. They lie in the interview to tell you what you want to hear. You tell them a reason you were leaving a current job, then you get hired on and immediately are doing g the same thing you left the previous job for. And if you want to advance your career, good luck. Once they find out what your good at, your are stuck there and will not give an opportunity to advance regardless of your skills.  The tell you they like to promote from within, that's a huge lie. Good company as a whole, just not the Cincinnati branch. 

There are many problems with the company as a whole, they rave about spending money and doing things for the company but hardly do anything for the employees that keep the company going. Upper management has no idea what is going on 90% of the time yet control who is hired and fired. Advancement is almost non existent, seems as if you are good in an area they don’t want to move you. Pay is decent but you have to scratch and claw your way the whole time, and raises are based off percentages and those percentages are getting less and less yearly. I would say if you’re young and willing to put in time you may get somewhere but will take a long time.

The Work is good and the managers suck, they are good at keeping you busy but try to force overtime on you i was working 12’s and went back to 8’s as i had stuff at home that i had to do and they threatened to fire me if i didnt work at least 10’s. Pay is mediocre i thought it was great till i quit and was making more money. Advancement is a joke takes 10+ years to “advance” up to the high pay and 70 online corses and test you have to do on your own time. Union is a joke also will not stand up for you if it makes management mad. 

Every day is exciting, helping our customers solve their needs .Every day there are new learning experiences while helping our customers solve their needs. Our training department continues to have updated classes on new products and new ways to better serve our customers.
