Pros

I actually have not been at the company since 2005, however, Glassdoor would not let me select this year. They also insisted I write a review, which I am glad to contribute. Cummins is a decent large company to work for and at the company headquarters you can move to different areas. I was able to learn quite a bit while there working as an engineer.

Cons

The variety of supervisors is quite broad. Some are super and others are just a step above terrible. Some are glad to allow you to move around and develop your talent, while others absolutely refuse. The biggest problem is the big sense of fear that pervades the atmosphere since Cummins likes to downsize some every year, and downsizes quite a bit in some years. Even if you are a top performer, you do not know when someone is going to decide that you need to go. I know many people who were let go after 10+ years simply because the wrong person decided they didn't like them.

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.
