Pros

Overall - Great company to work for. Most people and management recognize the need for a good work life balance. Decent pay for the location (Columbus, IN)

Cons

Upper Management kind of sucks. They seem to continually make the wrong decision. Constantly over guess how much the company will grow. They over-hire, then go through layoffs or don't pay the employees a reasonable bonus for not meeting financial targets. Columbus, IN is not a great place for single young people. Very little to do in the area. Entertainment can be found an hour in every direction which sounds good right up until you realize it is an hour away in every direction.

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.
