Pros

Great experience and opportunity for development. The people who work at Cummins are knowledgeable about engines. You are given full ownership of your components and have the opportunity make key desicions

Cons

Pay and workload are terrible. Cummins does not seem to pay based on how much you actually get done, it's more about how upper management perceives you. Without doing some brown-nosing, you are unlikely to be ranked well. Also, location is not ideal if you enjoy the freedom of nut running in to people from work all the time.

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
