Pros

Relaxed, flexible working environment, business is performing well so jobs are fairly secure. Friendly and diverse staff. Some opportunities for travel, potential to move around within the company.

Cons

Poor organisation, inefficient/poorly defined processes leading to lots of waste/errors/rework. Pay is significantly lower than for the same jobs/pay grades in different business units within Cummins. Distribution of work between teams is not balanced. Re-active management not pro-active. Promotion based on friendship not performance

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.
