Business outlook
Pros
Good place to start Average starting salary Good opportunity for responsibility (this does NOT mean an elevation in rank though!) Good opportunity to move jobs within the same location Good opportunity to move jobs within the company or its subsidiaries
Cons
Low pay Very low increase in salary, 2-3% for average performers (ranked 2) and 5% for top performers (ranked 1). HR rules the roots and most managers do not have the stones to deal with HR Cummins in general has the tendency to be extremely conservative. They prefer having a VP do a Director's job, or a Director do a manager's job. This is NOT the place for quick promotions! Cummins is DEFINITELY not a meritocracy.
