Pros

If you like a rather laid back... slow moving..... secure job..... then this place is for you. Cummins does provide a good work /life balance to their employees.

Cons

Not the place to be if you want to be on the cutting edge of technology. Highly structured.....and process oriented. Feels like creativity is shunned a bit with all the structure. Cummins seems like it is a company that spends more time talking about doing something (proposals, procedures, presentations) than actually doing the work!!! At Cummins, your hands are so tied with what you can do.... and it seems everyone has a very narrrow job scope.... and they don't cross over into anyone elses.

Pros

Most employees are very good to work with. Many knowledgable people to help bring insight to projects.

Cons

Senior leadership is part of the good 'ol boys and do not have degrees. Other management being hired takes up the slack. Very hard to get a promotion many position are open but management just run through the motions and then take the person they want not the best qualified. Communication is horrible!!!

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Uniforms are nice to have.

Cons

I was offered a very good job from Cummins late last year. I left my current job in order to accept it. On my last day of orientation Tim Solso spoke with our group. The economy and job stability was addressed. Tim stated that we would always be given a chance to perform before anyone would be laid off. 2.5 months later, which was mostly filled with training, I was laid off. My manager even told me it had nothing to do with performance since I was not there long enough. I guess I should have been more careful given the economy, but I didn't think that Cummins would dump money into me (relocation, training, etc.) just to lay me off a couple months later. It was really a lose-lose situation for both parties involved.
