Pros

Teamwork is encouraged. Written policies made clear to workforce. Businesses throughout the world.

Cons

Whereas other companies make job reductions and employee layoffs as a very last resort, Cummins has layoffs more often every few years. Team-based projects are the norm, but there are also too many meetings during the workday. Some functions do not budget for development and training. Not a diverse manufacturer - relies heavily on Engineering and Emissions business. When those tank, the company as a whole tanks, and probably the reason for regular layoffs.

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
