The wages are ordinary.The stock is dirty due to warehouse lay out.The new computer system doesnt allow bulk locations which makes looking for stock harder.

Advice to Senior Management

I think if they spent some time and money in upgrading the racks it would be alot cleaner enviroment to work in.And maybe had social events or a club to get to know management and employees more personally.

Pros

Cons

unnecessary budget cuts lately leading to disgruntled employees

Advice to Senior Management

Policies should be similar to Cummins, which is the parent company. They try to run this as a separate company and there is a HUGE difference in "benefits"

Pros

Steady pay and down-to-earth co workers. It is a relaxing work environment most days and because of this there are great opportunities for networking. Overall good company culture.

Cons

Once hired as a full time employee there is a good chance you may stay in that position if you do not have a graduate school degree. Job can get repetitive and frusturating when you are taken away from your daily projects because of six sigma training.

Advice to Senior Management

Have managers check-in more often with interns on job performance during the summer. Spend less time focusing on Six Sigma training and also spend more time monitoring some employees work ethic. I know some interns who got a job offer because they were friendly with the right people instead of actual performance on the job.

Pros

Cummins believes in training and education. They reward innovation. There is pride in the product and the fact that it helps the environment.

Cons

The company employes a performance model based on a normal distribution. There are a set number of achievers at each level. This produces a homogeneous culture of like-minded people and sometimes competition can be very fierce for the top spots.

Pros

I am allowed to take risk and be creative. Good job is visible and rewarded. Management is very supportive.

Cons

Too much work. We are doing ten times more than we were two years ago with the same amount of people.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire more people to help with work life balance. Joseph should keep doing what he is doing because it is working. Most people like the performance culture and the results he has created. Excellent leadership team.

Pros

engine and power generation business have good growth potentials, but this grow th has nothing to do with filtra tion

Cons

a cheap company, employees are under paid and could be treated better. workload is not equal between employees, no work life balance.

Advice to Senior Management

cost cutting is not the only way to do a business well. Please don't treat your employees as cheap labors, employees could be treated nicer.

Pros

The benifits are good in comparison to some other places I have worked. The people in the areas I interacted with are really nice and fun.

Cons

Management is really slow to react to situations. There are lots of roadblock in order to get anything done in a timely manner.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to streamline the approval process and give give middle managers the authority to get the job done or keep things moving.
