Pros

Good place to learn Pro-E software as design engineer

Cons

Rating and ranking does not make sense. They rank all 22-23 salary grade people against each other which include design engineers (so called Designer), development engineers, test engineer, application engineers etc. Lower 10% people donot get annual raise at all. No vision benefit. People who do 3D modeling 24 X 7, cummins call them designer (Design Engineer). If you want to learn how to use Pro-E, then start your career at Cummins as design engineer. Waste too much money on duplicate tasks. From Alpha to Beta design changes a lot. Design engineers have do drafting work to create preliminary graphics which I think is kind of waste of time and money. It can be done cheaply by using drafters. But cummins uses drafter only for final design prints.

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.
