Cummins Employer Reviews

Typical day: design in ProE, analysis with ANSYS.
Learned: I took ~50 training classes and taught a few as well.
Management: Great vision, some traditionalist.
Co-workers: Terrific influx of youthful energy.
Hardest part: Location x 3
Best part: diversity.

I am a diesel mechanic for them currently working in the Turbo lab. I have learned how to self manage at Cummins. My co-workers push me to do better. I love that I am basically my own boss that has helped me develop as an employee. There is not really anything hard about what I do for Cummins

fast paced ,supv. willing to work with you if your having prob. with the machinery, learned how they operate the paint booths

Fair company to work for. Average benefits. Health insurance is not great. Opportunities for older workers are limited.

I ENJOYED LEARNING AND WORKING AT THIS FACILITY. THIS FACILITY TAUGHT ME ABOUT WORKING IN AN USDA ENVIRONMENT.

Cummins has a great, nurturing environment that's perfect for any new graduate.

My day starts at 2am with a meeting with supervisor & employes. Doing the job is not hard just ur daily routine of shipping & recieving .The hardest part of my job is management is not on the same page with each other

People Oriented and Diverse Company
Innovative technology, reducing impact on our environment, community work, and building success

A typical work day: Organize my calendar, setup meetings and work on my project
I learned to work independently
Managers are helping you to focus on your project
My co-workers were very cooperative
Get information is the hardest part
Most enjoyable part is the team meetings

Multi-faceted company; high stress environment; constant focus on improving production and reducing costs

Nothing good to say here.They do not spend enough time training customer service employees.

Cummins is a fantastic work environment for those who want a cheap place to live with a job that offers decent benefits and an comparable pay. Most of the management seems to be very knowledge and capable (Mine was a new foreign nation with no management experience - not the best)
Most design engineers I talk to love the job. It's somewhat fast paced – more... and there is a lot of structure to it. I was a Calibration engineer and there seemed to be very little structure or methodology to it. I believe Cummins offers a lot to the right kind of individual but I would not recommend working here if you like having a social life outside of work, or intend to make a big impact on the world. – less

Great work enviroment and the managers have great work ethics

Great place to work, great management.Cummins Distributor Business Unit has implemented many Business Intelligence (BI) Solutions. These BI solutions are source system specific and cater to the need of local users. They have recently initiated a project to get all the daily business activities to be carried out in Oracle Applications ERP and Siebel – more... CRM solely. This has created a need to revamp the existing BI infrastructure to support the global needs of the business and to enhance the Reporting capability. – less

A typical day at work would be working at my usual assigned station on the assembly with my favorite co-workers.
Manager shows a lot of people person skills.
Lots of never ending over-time each week.
It's not hard making friends with co-workers because we're constantly communicating with each other while working on the assembly line.

A long way to go to really understand diversity, but a good place for folks that value diversity.

Pros
- Constant revenue stream from products like filters for diesel engines.
- Tie-ups with Cummins Engine company and other component subsidiaries ensure good financial performance.
- Six-Sigma training.

Cons
- Has too much focus on extra curricular activities.
- Not best qualified supervisors from educational background and with big egos.
- HR is – more... not for employees. It is there to look for best interest of the company.
- Forced performance rating.
- Uses Six-Sigma extensively to the point where its becomes more of hindrance than anything. Certain procedures and "tools" are "home-cooked" and doesn't adhere to core Six-Sigma ideology.
- HQ Located in the heart of Tennessee where diversity doesn't exist.
- Too much out-sourcing of testing, engineering and manufacturing. – less

Some days very hectic, especially during open enrollment or when a big change happened.
I had various job duties other than the customer service part of it. I enjoyed digging in to a problem and finding the way to fix it. If nothing else than to explain to the employees and retirees the best way to understand the changes and how it would benefit them. – more... I also did child support enforcement for the benefits part of it. With a court order I enrolled them in to their parents insurance. There were a lot of other job duties as 'side work' that I enjoyed doing also. Along with a benefit of some retirees of Cookeville with a benefit of a refund of their insurance premiums elsewhere when they cancelled theirs with us, they relied on me heavily to help them with anything they needed. And getting their checks to them on time every month.
I enjoyed my co-workers also. And the fact of diversity in the workplace.
I also enjoyed helping all of them to navigate the computer system to get what they needed to do done! Always long distance! – less

Production based warranty call center that operates 24/7 with 6 month shift rotation. I learned about all of Cummins engines to their various applications. The hardest part of the job is changing shifts every 6 months. The most enjoyable aspect of this type of work is talking to all of the customers who call in from all over Canada and the United States. – more... The process involved in helping a technician experiencing difficulty locating the root cause of a failure to helping a dealer obtain fair labor hours for repair performed along with exceeding exceptional quality service creating a win for all involved with the Cummins experience. – less
