Pros
Lots of opportunities to excel, and a ton of resources at your disposal to get the job done. There is always something that needs to be done or can be improved or requires documentation. With so many things always on the go, its hard to imagine a time when one could get bored with working for Cummins. The benefits at Cummins are another area that most companies would having difficulty beating. Cummins has standard 401K incentives, health and dental and very competative salaries. Additionally, Cummins has a yearly bonus of 0-16% of your salary depending on how the company fared in the last year.
Cons
There is a great deal of information to shift through when you first join Cummins. This is a result of many many years of technical reports, engineering standard works, and standard operating procedures that have accumulated over the years. In addition, Cummins has a plethora of acronyms that make common communication anything but for a beginner. Expect to be lost, confused, and frustrated for the first 6 to 9 months after hire. Don't expect too much help, your coworkers will try where they can, but they will likely be swamped with their own work to give you a thorough show of the ropes. Unfortunately, the only way to learn as a new hire is to get messy and make some mistakes of your own.
