Pros

Great Brand name of Cummins. Work life balance is awesome as there are no real KPIs or metrics - only presentations asking for "achievements"

Cons

Where to begin - 6 rounds of layoffs over past 6 years. Embarrassing to say you are in powergen business when meeting folks from other BUs. Constantly reorganizing by copying Generac or CAT - every function is free to reorganize any way they want and no one really knows what their job is - so the best way to get ahead is to suck up to management and focus on politics. See investor relations at cummins website - worst performing division over past 5 years. All the senior management work out of Columbus IN and are focused on finding their next job in Engine business.

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.
