Pros

Respected name in the industry Top ethical company Great coworkers Great focus on diversity with strong affirmative action policy providing great leadership opportunities for females and ethnics minorities Very profitable through cost reduction cutting (double-edge as one reorganization occurs every year)

Cons

For years Cummins has had a strategy of "great place to work & top employee engagement" but felt on its face and dropped it. Has a "growth strategy" since 5 years but did not find any traction whatsoever. Lot of red tape driven by an extreme functional organization Short-term-sighted decisions with only one driver: keep the stock value up Lot of waste and inefficiencies which along with recurrent cost cutting, result in low morale employees

Pros

High on corporate values, cares about people and development. Mentorship opportunities with executives, xfunctional learning Pay is fair, perhaps slightly below avg

Cons

Used to be a great company, currently a good company and getting worse Business has been down several years now, key leaders have retired and low confidence in next level of leadership. Fewer opportunities to grow has led to higher than avg turnover

Pros

Nice starting pay package for a fresh college graduate. Great place to start up.

Cons

The industry in general isn't doing too well. Layoffs are not encouraging to hard-working employees yet it happened. Hard working ones get to be recognized the same as those who are chatting and slacked-off.
