Pros

Very relaxing low-pressure environment. Very inclusive, multicultural corporate culture. Heaven for subcontractors. Because there is no responsibility for end result. Salary on par with market price. If your Dream-Job is to have no personal responsibility, if you would like to be judged by how many Hrs. you work, how much you available on off shift Hrs. without any implication of achievement, than Cummins is for you.

Cons

Cummins culture (as a minimum at Rocky Mount NC Engine Plant) is a great failure. Quality is steadily falling. Technical problem being dragged on for years without even attempt to solve. Retention of Engineers are very low. As a matter of fact I do not know any engineer younger 45 years old who works for Cummins (not as a manager) without string attached (work Visa, tuition reimbursement e.t.c.) My advice to young (as well as not that young) engineers: If you would like to be judged (and promoted) based on your accomplishments, not working Hrs. If you prefer to take responsibility for your decisions, not blindly follow numerous contradictory instructions. If you want to make a difference, not just work 10 Hrs. a day. That you should avoid Cummins at all cost.

Pros

Most the people are okay. BUT this place is TOXIC AF They do not give you a 30min lunch, they take 30min out of your check, but they give you 30min away from your machine, so if you have to walk 2 to 3 min to and from your zone you barely get 25min for lunch, One of the new people was clocking out for 30 min for their lunch and was actually told if you clock out for 30 min you have taken a longer lunch than you are allowed.

Cons

Upper Management doesn't care or doesn't listen to employees, There is nothing on earth that will make people want to be there for 13days in a row, I used to hear at Cummins you have to follow the standard work, now its do whatever you have to to get your numbers. You DO NOT Provide enough time off, not when you are running people 13d in a row. you provide enough time off for a 40h work week nothing more, Get it into your thick skulls.
