Pros

The company pushes employees to move around in different roles. So there is always an opprotunity to find another position if you don't like your manager or job.

Cons

Leadership sill values old school way of managing employees. A very micro-manage oriented system. The forced ranking is a good example of that. No one uses that system anymore. They have modified it a bit, but not much really. They just don't fire you right away now where in the past they would. Pay is also a bit under the sytandard. They claim that the benefits and profit sharing more than makes up for it. But lets be honest every one else offers the same benefits and profit sharing so it DOES NOT.

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.
