      Pros

      Good to outstanding performance is generally rewarded as long as you are also patient and easy to work with. The company is committed to ethical behavior and diversity and seems to walk the talk. Diversity is good, but you first have to be top notch. The company seems to do a good job at attracting both the talent and the diversity.

      Cons

      Very United States, Columbus Indiana centric. Although leaders are working to change this, it is hard to get things done unless you are in Columbus or have good relationships with people in Columbus.

      Good place to work but hard to get ahead unless you "play the games"

      Pros

      Good, stable company with family-friendly policies. Opportunity exists to switch career path, not only in Columbus but other Cummins Locations throughtout the world.

      Cons

      Not much top-down communication. Often feels like your work is done to make supervisor look good instead of working to meet top management goals. Constant changes in employee benefits - hard to keep current. Different benefit plans for different groups of employees/locations, i.e. plans different for hourly employees depending on what union they belong to, which plant they work at and how much seniority they have. Makes it hard for HR generalist to keep the plans seperate in order to counsel employees. Company would benefit greatly by standardizing benefits for all employees.

      A good place to take a break, but not for career advancement.

      Pros

      It is a fairly stable company. Things move slow and decisions are made by consensus and personal relationships. If you are liked by management, meaning you are part of the "diversity" group you are promoted. The company is helpful in taking time off to deal with family issues and is generally family friendly.

      Cons

      Economy's bad and everybody is cutting jobs. So, things are tight. Career advancement isn't a priority for management. Words and actions do not match. At times, there seems like there is no strategy to move forward. Everything is reactive. People do not have a sense of urgency to accomplish things.
