Pros

Flexible schedules Great Salary Lots of Diversity

Cons

Do not stick by mission and/or values Management lacking in communication Management very contradictory Lots of politics and plenty of "playing favorites" Management deflects blame from themselves onto the employees below them even when management is clearly at fault Lacking in adequate training/mentoring for new hires Only care about bottom lines, not about employee development or growth

Pros

Tremendous growth opportunities Dynamic, fast paced Good products, strong market positions (particularly in developing markets) Very strong and well respected senior leadership (at Cummins Corporate and President level) Performance-based review process (not always well implemented) Thin management ranks gives lots of opportunity to take more responsibility..if you have time

Cons

Leadership below President level is poor (not strategic, highly political, too busy to lead) Do not have sufficient resources to support aspirations. We say we want to grow fast, but the same obstacles budgets, HR policies impede that Physical facilities are sub-standard (being fixed currently) Unpleasant work environment, many people are unhappy Uneven share of value (employees vs. management)

Pros

Cummins has some very talented, hard working, capable people who are dedicated to the Company For some fortunate employees recognition and career advancement are possible

Cons

Management are unable, unwilling or afraid to make decisions. Rather than taking a stand in support of a well researched and sound position, and move it forward, more questions are asked, more data is requested and the decisions are never made timely. Managers have little to no people or management skills, and senior leaders don't seem to care that the employees are disgruntled, overworked, and frustrated with lack of leadership.
