Pros

Cummins has a very advanced goal tree and work plan system. They work hard to align these with the corporate strategy. These offer what I would feel is a great backbone to the development of successful project plans, which in turn 1) help the company direction, 2) offer cohesive continuous improvement, and 3) provide a solid road map for individual successes.

Cons

A key shortcoming of working at Cummins is having to live with the hardline, insensitive approach the top management has taken with regard to workforce reduction. Cummins just completed two back to back record setting quarters, and yet the position is now that they must cut ten percent of the professional workforce in order t meet their goals. That makes it very difficult to feel comfortable in a workplace setting.

Pros

It pays the bills. For now. The Company has a strong name. I believe in the USA, employees are well considered.

Cons

A lot of frustration due to complexity for doing anything. IT has too many stakeholders for taking any actions that we are too slow to react. Paid in Sterling but having living expenses indexed on the Euro makes a salary reduction of 50 %, The orderboard wants to increase , but decisison are made to deliver them at teh end of year , which contains more and more uncertainities. This likely to to end in non orders or cancellations if we wait too long. People were feeling left aside in Kent before the situation turned down. Employee moral was low. The difficulty in this situation is tah company shall also focus on how well they will end the curve. When economy will kick in again , companies that woould have managed more carefully will be able to ramp up quicker than others and will take marketshare... If they have the right people.
