    Cummins Power Generation Project Manager in Fridley, MN:   (Past Employee - 2009)

    Pros

    All in all, there a number of good things to say about the Fridley site:

    Cummins affords some high levels of latitude in project work.

    Colleagues, make for friendly work environment.

    Helpful and honest colleagues.

    Company supports employee professional growth.

    Competitive salary.

    Cons

    Unfortunetly, there are a number of things very unsettling about the site and organization from a management level:

    Top down (Senior & Corporate level) management is well communitcated, and in theory, are some good principles. Unfortunetly, it gets lost somewhere in the middle management level. I truly think several of these people are clueless on how to transcend the principles, or interpret them to fit there department.

    New software or update launches never go smoothly. Support is made available, but you'll spend more time talking with these people in the first 2-3 months of implementation, than you will on your own job!

    The review system in place has improved, yet, you never know where you stand against others in the same position. Even when you ask! Expect a closed-ended performance review, from a peer-to-peer basis. Makes for one spooky tenure, in any position.

    Like a lot of companies these days, layoffs are common, however I can think of a lot of better ways to handle departures; unless you like being escorted out of the workplace like a common criminal.

    Advice to Senior Management

    Test, test, test your software, BEFORE implementation!!! Make sure the data load you plan on pushing through your network infrastructure can handle the load.

    Stop repositioning middle managers, before they actual learn something about their position, and their employees. I truly think they are afraid to speak up in opposition of senior management.
