Pros

Great colleagues, stable product with world-wide market penetration, and the profit sharing for professionals can be sizable.

Cons

The management team has no clue on how to development people. Mentoring by managers ranges from mediocre to awful. Many managers have no clue as to the meaning of leadership. While they are generally good business or product managers, many managers would struggle to lead a Boy Scout troop. Cummins' philosophy is to hire people, wait for a while, and then periodically lay off 20% of their workforce. Once laid off from Cummins as a professional, you can never return. While this philosophy works great for the HR department (it keeps them really busy), it is a drain on company resources.

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
