Pros

Laid back, flexible time-off for emergency engagement.

Cons

Clueless about upcoming technology. Very hostile towards changes, innovations, new ideas. which is an irony because their motivation is excellence by innovation. If you want to survive in this company, don't even think about innovating. Just follow what your managers have planned out for you and improve a bit here and there based on his/her idea. If you try to push your own ideas, prepare to get shunned because your manager then won't get credit. Beware of managers who claim all credits of your work without even mentioning you, but then shift all the blame to you when problems arise. Note: These cons apply only to Columbus, IN headquarter. The branch in Cummins China Investment in Beijing is the complete opposite. Always embracing new ideas and adventurous innovators.

Pros

Most the people are okay. BUT this place is TOXIC AF They do not give you a 30min lunch, they take 30min out of your check, but they give you 30min away from your machine, so if you have to walk 2 to 3 min to and from your zone you barely get 25min for lunch, One of the new people was clocking out for 30 min for their lunch and was actually told if you clock out for 30 min you have taken a longer lunch than you are allowed.

Cons

Upper Management doesn't care or doesn't listen to employees, There is nothing on earth that will make people want to be there for 13days in a row, I used to hear at Cummins you have to follow the standard work, now its do whatever you have to to get your numbers. You DO NOT Provide enough time off, not when you are running people 13d in a row. you provide enough time off for a 40h work week nothing more, Get it into your thick skulls.
