Pros

Good, stable company with family-friendly policies. Opportunity exists to switch career path, not only in Columbus but other Cummins Locations throughtout the world.

Cons

Not much top-down communication. Often feels like your work is done to make supervisor look good instead of working to meet top management goals. Constant changes in employee benefits - hard to keep current. Different benefit plans for different groups of employees/locations, i.e. plans different for hourly employees depending on what union they belong to, which plant they work at and how much seniority they have. Makes it hard for HR generalist to keep the plans seperate in order to counsel employees. Company would benefit greatly by standardizing benefits for all employees.

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.
