-Excellent Training program - they offer many different courses -Work Quality - Fun, Interesting, and challenging work most of the time -Friendly, helpful co-workers

Cons

-Job security - they have routine layoffs at downturns -Columbus, IN - This is not a place for young professionals. There are no single women under 30 if you are a single male. Be prepared to drive 1 hr, one way to see other young people outside of Cummins. -It takes a long time to get the smallest thing done due -High workload -Performance Reviews - they automatically fire the bottom 10% of the workforce each year

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.
