Pros

1) Early career opportunity for resume. 2) Small town environment if at headquarters in Columbus 3) Significant growth if you have a Masters in BS

Cons

1) "Doing the right thing" is promoted...but in reality this is all show for new employees. 2) Those wishing to transition to middle management will find no development to place into a new role by the company. You are on your own even with historical high performing and high potential "ratings" to get a role whereas in the past the company would ensure it's upcoming talent to middle management was placed into key areas. 3) "Diversity" is promoted which is indeed important, but the company abuses it to drive work to lower pay & salaries while actively choosing certain candidates to reach a %demographic rather than choose the best employee. At the same time, age/career experience is utilized almost to a discriminatory level still rather than the capabilities of some employees. Company needs to learn that high performers are above "typical" levels. 4) "Restructuring" has attempted to solve some inefficiencies but in reality it has just attempted to move responsibilities to lower pay grades in the company that are not capable. Cummins no longer values an "expert" that will keep Cummins reliability at the forefront while still innovating. Rather, they will place an army of new hires that make the same mistakes the company has made for years and wonder why there are so many fires. Your processes are not air-tight that anyone can do anything. Wake up and value those that actually make a difference and influence key decisions because they have passion. 5) Layoffs - Leadership has constantly miscalculated and reacts to the market leading to layoffs. Great talent is walked out for being in the wrong spot at the wrong time rather than looking to the bigger picture. Enter new employees upon recovery for cheaper and ambitious support...unfortunately enter previously fixed mistakes and pissed of customers. 6) "Collaborative" Workspace - in other words you get a small locker and no assigned desk. Detrimental to developing consistent relationships and horrible if in the engineering environment.

Pros

Ok money and thats about it. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Cons

If your not a female you get the shaft. If your not a butt kisser you get the shaft. If your not a Foreigner you get the shaft. As one of the people i knew from there. A black man. He would start his machine and sleep the day away. Didn't matter who caught him. It was ok because years ago he played the racecard so it was ok. As for a white male you are a number and if you get on a females bad side you will be gone. They will make up random crap to fire you. Dont ever go to human resources if someone is making your life hell. Idk if that is how it is everywhere else or just JEP. Jamestown engine plant
