Pros

The Nashville location is very nice. Many co-workers are smart and pleasant to work with.

Cons

This company had revenues of $1B in 2007. Following a dramatic reduction during the recession it is almost back to pre-recession revenue levels. On the surface it looks like a recovery until you consider competitors have grown dramatically and taken market share. Cummins Filtration is falling behind because there is no growth strategy. Buying Cummins distributors and CMI share repurchases is not a growth strategy, it's an investor enrichment strategy. So, maybe own shares of Cummins - but don't work there. Things you need to know: - Strategy changes every 6-9 months - Poor decisions are made - such as multi-year pursuit of mining markets during a record commodity downturn - Failure to address quality of production at factories - Failure to address ineffective and unethical top managers - Expect a layoff every couple of years Oh - if you're a god fearing white male good luck! Unlike the Women, Asian, African, Latin American, Gay, etc... you have no affinity group to join. They prefer you walk on egg shells.

Pros

Work from home, flexibility, paternal leave policy, pension plan

Cons

Pay is low and has not kept up with inflation. Leadership is only DEI hires, and they do not seem to understand the actual work being done. They are making life miserable for employees by adding unnecessary KPI's and performance tracking to make a name for themselves within the senior leadership. No loyalty for employees, they will let you go in the blink of an eye if the business struggles.
