Pros

The Nashville location is very nice. Many co-workers are smart and pleasant to work with.

Cons

This company had revenues of $1B in 2007. Following a dramatic reduction during the recession it is almost back to pre-recession revenue levels. On the surface it looks like a recovery until you consider competitors have grown dramatically and taken market share. Cummins Filtration is falling behind because there is no growth strategy. Buying Cummins distributors and CMI share repurchases is not a growth strategy, it's an investor enrichment strategy. So, maybe own shares of Cummins - but don't work there. Things you need to know: - Strategy changes every 6-9 months - Poor decisions are made - such as multi-year pursuit of mining markets during a record commodity downturn - Failure to address quality of production at factories - Failure to address ineffective and unethical top managers - Expect a layoff every couple of years Oh - if you're a god fearing white male good luck! Unlike the Women, Asian, African, Latin American, Gay, etc... you have no affinity group to join. They prefer you walk on egg shells.

Pros

Cummins Emission Solutions is the newest business unit in the Components Segment. Consequently, greater potential for growth and a lot of work to tackle with less people.

Cons

There is very little work-life balance with Cummins choosing to lay off workers every 2-3 years (look it up yourself: 2009, 2011-2012, 2015) rather than trying to resolve their economic downturns through more accurate forecasting. Result is same amount of large volumes of work with less people and 65-80+ hour workweeks.

Pros

Great culture, flexibility. Ethical company.

Cons

Not a lot of great decisions on upcoming product...not sure how sustainable they will be. As it is, 4 rounds of layoffs in the last 7 years...
