Decent place to start, not a place for high performers

Pros

Good place to start Average starting salary Good opportunity for responsibility (this does NOT mean an elevation in rank though!) Good opportunity to move jobs within the same location Good opportunity to move jobs within the company or its subsidiaries

Cons

Low pay Very low increase in salary, 2-3% for average performers (ranked 2) and 5% for top performers (ranked 1). HR rules the roots and most managers do not have the stones to deal with HR Cummins in general has the tendency to be extremely conservative. They prefer having a VP do a Director's job, or a Director do a manager's job. This is NOT the place for quick promotions! Cummins is DEFINITELY not a meritocracy.

Pros

Benefits! I had excellent benefits at this job! I had a baby while working here and between my 80% health coverage and my utilization of the companies flex-spending account, it was all taken care of. Even with all of the added expense of a very complicated delivery. My co-workers were wonderful and I miss them all dearly. The management, on the other hand, was new and very disorganized, although I am not sure how they could have avoided it at the time.

Cons

Lack of initial training. But when I asked for it I got it. The nature of the business. Customers were only there because something of theirs that was very expensive and valuable was broken. As I was the one who handled the majority of the finances I got to handle the brunt of customers' anger. I did not make as much money as I should have for the amount of work I was doing. I was making 14 dollars per hour and through the grapevine I heard that the person I replaced had been making 25! This did not sit well with me.

Pros

Great community involvement, allows time to volunteer during work hours.

Cons

constantly freezes transfers, has a horrible cycle of hiring too many people then laying off the same number of people the next year, company does not back fill positions so a lot of knowledge is lost, the leaders surround themselves with yes men.
