Pros

The people.. This is the key positive of the company and the only reason I lasted as long as I did.. The people you work with are just like a family in many instances, but that is changing quickly. The work is great for those who want to start out in their career and be challenged from day one.. Extreme focus on social issues.

Cons

Talk to all the long term employees and you will see that Cummins does not have leadership. They have management. Significant headcount reductions every three-four years, since the 1990's. Once the longer termed employees are removed in this cycle, there is a significant hiring push for less expensive hires within six months, almost each time. Just look at the social media sites today. 8-10% professional headcount reduction in process, while you see individuals announcing their recently accepted job offer to start in 2020.. When will the company realize the impact they are making on the lives of their people and the company? The cycle is clear, do something about it and stop the major hiring pushing and then major firing push that is easily seen..

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.
