Pros

Great values and work life balance. People care about their colleagues and communities. It makes it for a comfortable working environment. There is no time-card mentality and it is all about your performance. Individual development is strongly advised and the company will help you grow.

Cons

Bureaucracy. Process process process. Things are not fast. Company is falling behind and is becoming a fast follower (or worse) due to high risk aversion. Too many lay-offs: In the last 5 years there have been 2 major corporate wide reductions in force. However, in varying departments of the company there have been major restructuring which has led to people leaving. It has become a major expectation that by Q3 and Q4, the company will announce some sort of restructuring. Individual development and performance based results work well at entry level to mid-level management. At senior managers and directors, it really becomes about who you know. Very political.

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.
