Pros

Excellent benefits in a market that doesn't always offer them. Also, great growth potential and a forward-thinking performance management system that helps employees to discern areas for development. Quarterly performance checks and annual reviews. Most managers recognize the need for a good work-life balance, and are flexible with employees that have occasional needs to accomodate family, etc. Cummins also has an excellent track record at recognizing and valuing diversity.

Cons

As an manufacturing company in the automotive industry, the fortunes of the company are largely tied to the heavy-duty truck market. However, the company has been careful to diversify over the last 5 years or so, and is now well positioned to ride out cyclical storms.

Pros

Fantastic place to work. Outstanding people. Strong management. Good recognition and support for work/life balance. Significant focus and support for diversity. Not what one expects for an automotive company based in the Midwest. Compensation is known to be about average for the industry. Heavy six sigma focus is deeply entrenched. A company of high integrity and ethics.

Cons

There is a high performance ethic. You won't be expected to work extraordinarily long hours but you will be expected to make solid contributions. The annual rating and ranking is rigorously maintained and applied. Two years straight in the lower group and separation is the most likely outcome.

Pros

Cummins is a very cool place to work. What we do is provide the engines needed to move and build anything all over the world. They pay moderate, but the work isn't all that hard. Its a very large company much like the US government, you do very little!

Cons

its a corporation, that basically sums it up!! Terrible IT, if you need something...learn indian, as thats where the call centers are. Also there is way to much time and energy spent on six sigma projects. At the end of the day, any work can be completed with trained and confident indivduals. Once you are hired on, immediately find someone that can help train you. As the company gives you no or minimal training. And if you work hard, do your job better than anyone else, come to work with a smile on your face....dont expect anything for it. They dont believe in positive reinforcement
