Mediocre Fortune 500 Company

Pros

International Fortune 500 company [ie, large]. A lot of internal move opportunities to different areas of the world. If you're interested in playing office politics, you'll do well. DFSS is the bible. Depending on your division/manager, can be VERY flexible on work/life balance. (Cummins Engine Business Unit is NOT the same as Cummins Filtration is not the same as Turbo Technologies etc. Completely different cultures.) Concerned about health and well-being of employees. Community involvement is fantastic.

Cons

International Fortune 500 company [ie, large]. Practically zero accountability. Substantial amount of 'fat' could be trimmed to really make the organization work better. Additionally, processes are atrocious, which also creates inefficiencies. DFSS is the bible; ex. even though the outcome of a project is completely counter-intuitive / doesn't work for the functional group it supports (typically because that group's voice isn't heard), projects are approved. Salary is NOT competitive, no matter what HR/leadership says and they use "salary grades" as smoke and mirrors. If you do your job well and meet/exceed expectations, unless you're spending time on their internal "career connections" website looking for the next position, you will not move throughout the company. Concerned about health and well-being of employees as long as it doesn't cost money. EXTREMELY conservative.

Pros

Cummins is a great company to learn and grow within Supply Chain. You'll work hard with very little training which forces you to embrace change and adapt to a truly global environment.

Cons

Promotional opportunities are tough! If you're looking to do a great job and be able to change roles, this isn't the company for you. The only way to truly be promoted is through favoritism. Also, you'll be grossly underpaid compared to industry standards. Lastly, healthcare sucks. You will pay for everything out of pocket.
