Cummins reviews

A complete lack of experience in middle management. In more than one department I was under people with no prior management experience which resulted in terrible micro management.

1. EXTREMELY sensitive to stockholders which leads to horrific changes of direction that absolutely wreak havoc on morale, quality, innovation, and motivation of work force. 2. Management does not stick to plans. 3. Accountability is virtually non-existent, which on one level leads to low stress, yet ultimately hurts everyone as risk takers are viewed as toxic and those that take the safe road and yet never say "No" generally do just fine. 4. They generally hire too many when times are good and subsequently have to lay people off every ~2-3 years. 5. They do not value experience and while they treat people well, employees are still just numbers. For example, someone with 5 years experience in something specific would generally be viewed the same as a college hire with respect to work assignments.
