Pros

Good communication from senior management team Good diversity training Fair pay On the face of it, employees are treated with respect Good e-training (where ever in the world you are)

Cons

Non performing middle managers (no fault of theirs ) who know little or nothing of what they are doing. Performance measurement is based on these managers and is basically down to your relationship with them or how they 'feel'. Middle Managers are terrified of senior management for some reason and don't want the whistle to be blown on their incompetence, so they just go along with anything. No standardisation of new employee training - you have to rummage around to find out what is available (both data and resources). Not really sure what is required of you and the goal posts change every time Never a full understanding of projects before going forward.

Pros

Excellent technology, training opportunities, professional growth, bonus, cheap cost of living, no traffic, ample parking, some friendly people, community involvement.

Cons

If you are not of the majority race, from the Midwest, Purdue graduate, your hobbies does not including beer, then you will have to learn how to battle in the engineering world while working at Cummins. One memory that will always stay with me is seeing senior management walk my fellow co-worker out during the layoffs.

Pros

Our facility is called Memphis Distribution Center (MDC), located in Memphis, TN. It's the most well-rounded distribution within Cummins and probably one of the best-performed distribution center in the US. Here you have opportunities to cooperate with people from all other functions, such as supply chain, operations, materials, IT, etc. The atmosphere is free and trusty, and MDC is very diversified; you can see people from many different countries. People are friendly and most of them are very positive and supportive.

Cons

MDC is not close to the headquarter, so the visibility is not as good as in Columbus, IN. Promotion opportunities are not as many as Columbus because most people are hired locally and are not going to transfer frequently. In order to get visible to higher management, you might have to try to find opportunities back in Columbus or use your network to other sites.
