Layoffs, Mass Reduction Magnet

Pros

Teamwork is encouraged. Written policies made clear to workforce. Businesses throughout the world.

Cons

Whereas other companies make job reductions and employee layoffs as a very last resort, Cummins has layoffs more often every few years. Team-based projects are the norm, but there are also too many meetings during the workday. Some functions do not budget for development and training. Not a diverse manufacturer - relies heavily on Engineering and Emissions business. When those tank, the company as a whole tanks, and probably the reason for regular layoffs.

Smoke and Mirrors, at Its Best

Pros

- Great colleagues, especially when working together in person. - Good salary and benefits. - Global presence. - Lots of opportunity and career growth potential (unless you get laid off before you can take advantage of such opportunities)

Cons

- It's all about profit; despite claims of "our employees are our most valued asset," or "customer service is top priority." - Too much focus on progressive political issues than on common sense. - "We embrace diversity." Um, not. True diversity includes embracing ALL ideas, including ideas that are contrary to the Corporate/Senior Management agenda bent. At Cummins, it's only valid "diversity" if it fits within the progressive paradigm of the popular culture. - "Collaborative Work Space." Really?
