Pros

Cummins supplies engines to almost every business and offers reasonable compensation and has work assignments all over the world.

Cons

Despite the company continually broadcasting messages about core values, great place to work, and treatment of others, it often fails at delivering on such promises. Often times there are stark contrasts between the messages delivered by the "leadership team" and the actual execution of their initiatives. They frequently purge highly qualified employees for petty reasons (if they even bother explaining) and replace them with new hires that have limited opportunities to learn from senior employees that remain. Ironically, the leadership team will then comment that the workforce doesn't have the same level of knowledge as people with equivalent experience a decade ago. Perhaps the leadership teams hubris prevents them from realizing they are the ones creating this problem by hemorrhaging talent and ultimately losing innovation with each 3-5 year employee purge cycle. It is difficult for employees to ever truly become invested in their work when the company is continually changing org structures and making program decisions by the quarter.

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.
