Pros

Cummins does a great job of communicating changes and direction to all employees. They especially do a good job of communicating expectations, metrics and how the company performs according to those metrics. The company also does a good job of making employees understand how they negatively or positively affect those metrics. Employees are treated with respect, and I find that upper management requests and values feedback from employees. One of the missions of Cummins Parts and Service is to make it a great place to work. It is truly a great place to work. The work environment, the equipment, and (especially) people make it worth while. Cummins is also very flexible and understanding (from my experience) when you have matters outside of work to take care of.

Cons

Although the company does a great job of communicating metrics to the employees and how each employee or role can influence those metrics , sometimes it is difficult to accept that one really has a say so in the "big picture". While Cummins is a great company to work, compensation for similar work in other organizations is much higher. It is known, internally, that Cummins is not the best paying place to work, but many of the benefits (great place to work/flexibility) sometimes make it harder to leave .

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.
