Pros

- Competitive compensation package - Cummins is a terrific corporate citizen - Workforce diversity is preached AND practiced - Great training opportunities and potential for advancement (with the right manager) - I was fortunate to work with terrific, dedicated people

Cons

- IT function is continually re-organizing and priorities (and therefore funding) change too often - Emphasis on Six Sigma projects and "belting" is over-the-top - Processes often stifle productivity - need a better balance between process and "just do it" - Job rotations are strongly encouraged, but too often not well-planned; after someone transfers to a new position, back-fills can take months or never happen due to RIFs

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
