Pros

Good communication from senior management team Good diversity training Fair pay On the face of it, employees are treated with respect Good e-training (where ever in the world you are)

Cons

Non performing middle managers (no fault of theirs ) who know little or nothing of what they are doing. Performance measurement is based on these managers and is basically down to your relationship with them or how they 'feel'. Middle Managers are terrified of senior management for some reason and don't want the whistle to be blown on their incompetence, so they just go along with anything. No standardisation of new employee training - you have to rummage around to find out what is available (both data and resources). Not really sure what is required of you and the goal posts change every time Never a full understanding of projects before going forward.

Great mentorship, great leadership, projects were challenging but very helpful to me growing as an engineer. Hosted lots of employee and intern events

Rural Indiana--not a lot to do as a young person in the immediate area

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.
