Pros

You have opportunities to move to a new job/area within the company if you'd like a change. Management is generallly supportive of this type of move, however, some see it as a lack of loyalty when you make a lateral move within the company. The company is a big player in a small town so you get the benefits of working for a multinational company without having to live in a big city. The work atmosphere is generally casual . Their benefits are good and seem to be fairly administered. Their pay scale is higher than any other company in Columbus.

Cons

Their annual forced ranking of employees where10% are outstanding (level 1), 80% are doing a good job as expected (Level 2), and 10% are considered substandard and therefore subject to termination (level 3.) The problem is that 10% of the employees in the department are "forced" into the bottom tier and will probably be fired. Being in the bottom tier does NOT make you a bad employee, it just means that in your supervisors opinion you aren't as good as the others. I've seen some excellent employees terminated in the annual RIF (reduction in force). Morale and productivity both take quite a plunge in the 4th quarter because people are worrying about whether they are going to be fired.

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.
