Pros

Cummins is a good place to work if you are interested in engines. The starting salary is fairly comparable to other companies with the same positions. The benefits are decent. Overall the people that work for Cummins are friendly.

Cons

There is poor communication between employees. Also the environment is extremely political, you scratch my back and I'll scrath your's type of group. The friendly people that you work with will stab you in the back if they are given the chance. Promotion is given more on a basis of who you know and who you are in good with than based on performance.

Pros

Good place to learn Pro-E software as design engineer

Cons

Rating and ranking does not make sense. They rank all 22-23 salary grade people against each other which include design engineers (so called Designer), development engineers, test engineer, application engineers etc. Lower 10% people donot get annual raise at all. No vision benefit. People who do 3D modeling 24 X 7, cummins call them designer (Design Engineer). If you want to learn how to use Pro-E, then start your career at Cummins as design engineer. Waste too much money on duplicate tasks. From Alpha to Beta design changes a lot. Design engineers have do drafting work to create preliminary graphics which I think is kind of waste of time and money. It can be done cheaply by using drafters. But cummins uses drafter only for final design prints.

Pros

It's a paycheck and they have good benefits

Cons

There's nowhere to move up in the company if you're on the technical side of the business, supervisors and managers are the only positions getting re-filled at a steady rate, but nobody with any advanced, or even moderate level of experience as a tech will bother applying, the pay is too low, and the incompetence is too high. Constant cutbacks have removed crucial members of the company and consolidated tasks meant for multiple people to be handled by a single person. Management will protect their own jobs at the risk of pushing out technicians in the process. Skill level has no effect on pay, more experience only results in a higher work load responsibility, lower skill levels get paid the same with less stress, which is leading to a mass exodus of experienced techs taking other job offers somewhere else, saturating the workplace with inexperienced techs needing training from the handful of experienced techs that haven't left yet. If you do happen to try and negotiate a higher wage for your specific level of experience, you'll be encouraged to go work somewhere else, Cummins will NOT increase your pay one cent to prevent you from quitting, they have zero interest in retention.
