Pros

If you enjoy working in a small town where everyone knows you and feels like family, Cummins in Columbus, IN is for you. Well-known for diesel engine performance and quality. Good work/life balance for some dependent upon the manager.

Cons

If you work at another facility, non-headquarters, the moral is very low since all decisions are made at the "corporate level". If you won't move to Columbus, IN, you will eventually hit a ceiling or be let go. If you are a high performer, they will promote you up to a point, then if you don't move, you will be let go. No options for different roles, lower salary, etc. Constant fear of layoffs and forced rankings. Every few years Cummins has layoffs and then a massive rehire. Even if you are a great performer, you can still be let go. Especially around the 10 year mark and/or a 6 figure salary.

Pros

Most the people are okay. BUT this place is TOXIC AF They do not give you a 30min lunch, they take 30min out of your check, but they give you 30min away from your machine, so if you have to walk 2 to 3 min to and from your zone you barely get 25min for lunch, One of the new people was clocking out for 30 min for their lunch and was actually told if you clock out for 30 min you have taken a longer lunch than you are allowed.

Cons

Upper Management doesn't care or doesn't listen to employees, There is nothing on earth that will make people want to be there for 13days in a row, I used to hear at Cummins you have to follow the standard work, now its do whatever you have to to get your numbers. You DO NOT Provide enough time off, not when you are running people 13d in a row. you provide enough time off for a 40h work week nothing more, Get it into your thick skulls.
