Pros

Ummmmm........decent pay and benefits. Good group of technicians.

Cons

Job safety analysis process is ridiculous. Management has a "customer is always right attitude " so you better hope you weren't the last one to touch that truck. Service supervisor is not knowledgeable of cummins engines (Henderson, CO) They hire to many technicians so there is never enough work to go around. Computers are always broken so for 12 techs only 1 or 2 computers work.

Pros

You can get a lot of responsibility quickly. Can move around easily within company. Good technology. Good co-workers (generally).

Cons

Cummins is an unfaithful employer. The ranking system with forced layoffs creates a poisonous atmosphere. Because of the system, employees doing good work are routinely fired. While the current company position is that there are nor forced layoffs, don't believe it. They will be back as soon as the current hiring binge is over. So be realistic - go to Cummins to get a lot of experience early in your career, then leave for a company that is more faithful to its employees. don't stay more than 3 to 5 years. You don't want to be stuck in Columbus mid-career when your turn to get fired rolls around. The hypocrisy between Cummins happy talk about a "great place to work" and the forced ranking and layoffs is breathtaking.

Pros

Many good people just trying to make a living

Cons

Management panders to left wing liberals and gay rights advocates. Uses a high percentage of offshore contractors which displaces the need for US employment. This also holds impacts US employee growth and salaries. Not an American first strategy.
