Pros

Descent balance of work/family life. Good technology, but disconnected from sourcing and manufacturing teams

Cons

Forced Ranking arbitrarily administered. Rankings overruled based on feelings and political gamesmanship in evaluation meetings. Lack of truthfulness in feedback given to be fed back to reports. Integrity of leadership suspect as all work pits workers against workers and has resulted in some mysteriously sabotaged projects. Sr. Managers missed key market indicators on the up and now the down side of the business. Currently running 40% of capacity, while last year we were being pushed to grow capacity 25%. Benefits are weak and pay is below top level. Highly PC with discriminatory policies against certain groups. White boys need not apply.

Pros

Most the people are okay. BUT this place is TOXIC AF They do not give you a 30min lunch, they take 30min out of your check, but they give you 30min away from your machine, so if you have to walk 2 to 3 min to and from your zone you barely get 25min for lunch, One of the new people was clocking out for 30 min for their lunch and was actually told if you clock out for 30 min you have taken a longer lunch than you are allowed.

Cons

Upper Management doesn't care or doesn't listen to employees, There is nothing on earth that will make people want to be there for 13days in a row, I used to hear at Cummins you have to follow the standard work, now its do whatever you have to to get your numbers. You DO NOT Provide enough time off, not when you are running people 13d in a row. you provide enough time off for a 40h work week nothing more, Get it into your thick skulls.
