Pros

Diversity in the workforce which fostered a good integration for the employees. It was nice to see different cultures in action.

Cons

Moved customer service operations to Nashville and there were not many options for the remaining employees to transfer to other areas.

Pros

Very friendly work envirnment. Upper Management is very easy to talk to, but seldom does anything need to go to that level to be resolved.

Cons

Only real downside is like most smaller companies there is no advancement possibilities unless a sales position opens and that's were you want to go.

Pros

Cummins is a great place for technical knowledge. There are a lot of smart engineers who really know the products. Most people are collaborative and it is easy to access papers and people to ask questions of the experts. Most people want to work together to get a high quality product in production.

Cons

Forced rating and ranking process is full of problems. You either have to kiss managers' butts or else you are not "perceived" to be a good performer. The process is more about how you are perceived by management rather than the actual work you are doing. You could be a great performer and produce high quality work, but if the management team does not perceive you to be doing this work, you will be ranked low. The forced ranking pits everyone against each other and makes for a hostile environment. If managers do not like you, it is impossible to get a good ranking. Hiring and firing of employees seems to be much too cyclical for such a "well governed" company. In just three years, there ahs been a large hriing blitz, two mass layoffs, and now, another large hiring blitz.
