      Pros

      lots of opportunities if you are willing to go after them, strong sense of community, you are surrounded by lots of really smart people, work life balance is supported if you approach it with organization and open communication with your manager

      Cons

      Can be difficult living in Columbus, IN for younger employees or employees not married or who do not have children. Some people get hung up on salaries here since Cummins tends to pay at just at the mean versus our competitive benchmarks. The trade off though is that you can still work hard and have a life working at Cummins.

      Not a bad company, but some terrible policies.

      Pros

      There are many varied career possibilities at Cummins. It is possible to change roles and career paths. The size of the company also allows for movement globally. You will not be neccesarily tied to one location. There are job opportunities in many countries and locations. In all Cummins has the potential to be a great company. It is a very diverse company that has many varied opprotunites for its employees to grow and move. Climbing the corporate ladder is possible, but finding a comfortable position and staying in it is accepted as well. The diversification of it businesses has helped keep positive growth while the economy has taken a down turn.

      Cons

      The worst part of Cummins is the forced ranking and firing. Every year managers are required to rank their employees and then a set percentage of the bottom are fired. This worked well the first few years it was mandated but now Managers are loosing good employees. Also this forces a competition between employees and hampers team work. It has become more of a "favorites" system, and highly capable employees are choosing to leave since job security is not available. They are leaving to go to companies where they do not have to walk on egg shells trying to not be the person ranked the lowest.
