Pros

Good pay and benefits. Uniforms are nice to have.

Cons

I was offered a very good job from Cummins late last year. I left my current job in order to accept it. On my last day of orientation Tim Solso spoke with our group. The economy and job stability was addressed. Tim stated that we would always be given a chance to perform before anyone would be laid off. 2.5 months later, which was mostly filled with training, I was laid off. My manager even told me it had nothing to do with performance since I was not there long enough. I guess I should have been more careful given the economy, but I didn't think that Cummins would dump money into me (relocation, training, etc.) just to lay me off a couple months later. It was really a lose-lose situation for both parties involved.

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.
