Pros

Good support and great staff. I've learned and continue to learn a lot. Pace of work is steady and flexible working hours is appreciated across the site. Cummins have the best community presence and cultural integration of any company I have seen or worked for - a major company strength.

Cons

In the technical side of the business, career progression isn't overly visible. A common belief is to progress you are better pursuing more commercial roles - something I feel our particular BU has suffered. This sentiment has been expressed and acknowledged by local Senior Management, will be interesting to see if any developments are made. In times of hardship, Cummins have been known to swiftly wield the axe. I also consider the company's R&D structure to be under funded and not world leading as once the case.

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.
