Pros

Fits my career. They have a great worldwide network. Cummins makes the best engines in the world. Cummins focuses on engines only and not on equipment like some of the competition. The Cummins engines all meet the required emissions standards as place on companies by the government. Because of the quality of engines, it is also a fun place to work. When you have great product, life is nice.

Cons

I believe the management is not open minded enough. We are losing some customers due to upper management styles of running the campany. While the products are great and the worldwide system is great, there are some management problems that ought to be looked at.

Pros

Cummins has a very advanced goal tree and work plan system. They work hard to align these with the corporate strategy. These offer what I would feel is a great backbone to the development of successful project plans, which in turn 1) help the company direction, 2) offer cohesive continuous improvement, and 3) provide a solid road map for individual successes.

Cons

A key shortcoming of working at Cummins is having to live with the hardline, insensitive approach the top management has taken with regard to workforce reduction. Cummins just completed two back to back record setting quarters, and yet the position is now that they must cut ten percent of the professional workforce in order t meet their goals. That makes it very difficult to feel comfortable in a workplace setting.
