Business outlook
Pros
Decent people to work with, for the most part. Decent shops, even some of the older branches. If you are just starting out in the this industry you will not find a better place to get good actual experience. Just be prepared to know only Cat.
Cons
Management is mostly disconnected with most of the employees. Managing other shops from afar. Lack of upward mobility. No serious reinvestment for long time employees. Some of the diversification is narrowing. When I worked for GP and told someone the reaction was always, "you must be loaded!". The truth is far from that. Cat only, no cross training for other brands that this company does not have a stake in.
