Good schedule
Production Technician (Current Employee) - Westminster, CO - July 22, 2022
4 on 3 off schedule is great! Get good vacation time and time off requests not a big deal. Pay is lower and raises slow to come. Overtime always available.

Soul crushing cubicles
Chemical Technician (Former Employee) - Stoughton, WI - July 21, 2022
I was brought in, specifically as a PhD chemist. Unfortunately, the job was extremely low grade--moving inventory around, cleaning things. Utterly pointless and demeaning. Which would be fine, other than the work has nothing to do with the job description or interview. AVOID this place. Unless you're a mindless Koolaid drinker, it's a dreadful place to be. Low pay, poor insurance. Idiotic meetings like I have never seen before. I realized it wouldn't be a high end R and D job, but what I found was actually shameful. The "culture" was one where everything was a witch hunt. Anything goes wrong, even something minor, someone was going to hang for it. And not taken aside and corrected. After being spoken to privately, then it had to come up at the weekly staff meeting, then again at the technician meeting. Just to make absolutely certain whoever was responsible was deeply shamed by it. I have no idea how some of these poor folks lasted decades there.

Productive
Quality Inspector (Current Employee) - Whitakers, NC - July 19, 2022
This company is a good place to work at and the pay is good and advancement is great. I highly recommend the maintenance program at cummins. They also pay for your schooling

love the job not management
Engine Field Technician III (Former Employee) - Florida - July 18, 2022
Overall the Company was great. Management had terrible turnaround with having a new manager every 2-4months. As a growing company they were constantly changing policies and procedures, not even giving enough time to learn the current policies. growth was a little difficult. Although it was an issues specific to our shop due to being a union shop. Again, overall training and benefits were great, the company as a whole is a great company to work with. The only reason I left was do to relocating.

Has a good PR dept and that's about it.
Machine Operator (Current Employee) - North Charleston, SC - July 8, 2022
Management is incompetent, and doesn't actually manage anything. Their fix all is forced overtime, which doesn't actually fix anything because the production employees aren't the reason they are always behind. They claim to respect their employees, but their actions and policies make you feel like they think they own you.
Pros
There are some really great people to work with.
Cons
Management is incompetent to the highest degree

Jobs at Cummins
Great company to work for
Manager (Former Employee) - Columbus, IN - July 6, 2022
Has a small town feel with a corporate environment. The staff are friendly. Obviously the factory can be a bit of a revolving door but that's almost expected.
Pros
Great pay and benefits
Cons
Lay offs for some

Easy job, alot of hours.
Assembly Line Worker (Former Employee) - Ladson, SC - July 5, 2022
Cummins is an all right company, just be prepared to work everyday. They give vacation and some sick time, but once that is gone your best bet is to just call out.

They do not have good ethics
PGFS (Power Generator Field Service) (Former Employee) - West Chester, OH - July 2, 2022
Co- worker's and managers set you up for failure. They tend to make you look bad for their errors. I was excited about working here until after 1 months employment. Branch manager is no good.

Not enough pay
General Assembly (Former Employee) - Neillsville, WI - June 24, 2022
People were cool, pay sucked. The job was easy on most days but for doing overnights, the pay was way too little. Sometimes had to work 6 or even 7 days a week.

They will work you to death
Manufacturing Lead (Former Employee) - Charleston, SC - June 22, 2022
I had high hopes for working at Cummins Turbo Plant in SC. They work you so much and morale is low. As a Lead, you can only have two off at the same time which means you may go 4 weeks without having 1 day off and that’s unacceptable and dangerous. The place is clean and safe and they paid me very well but some of the operators are insubordinate and it falls back on the lead. You would tell people one thing and they would do another and then try to throw you under the bus. Some of the senior operators believe they are above listening to the lead and it’s not worth trying to make an effort over.
Pros
Good pay Nice team members
Cons
Lack of equipment Lack of downtime Lots of experienced workers quitting for other jobs

Small location of a large company
Administrative Associate (Current Employee) - Elkhart - June 20, 2022
There was no one to train me when I began, however I was able to manage enough to proceed with daily tasks. This place is what you make of it. I have personally enjoyed working here and working with the people here. Management is appreciative of my role and the benefit package is outstanding.
Pros
Benfit package begins day one of employment
Cons
Most training is done through an online program. HR and AP are at a central location.

Listen to your senior technicians
Diesel Engine Technician (Current Employee) - Dearborn, MI - June 17, 2022
Cummins isn’t a bad place to work depending on which branch you end up working. Some branches will equip you better for your future at the company. Stuff like tooling and training are hard to come by at some locations. Also, be ready to teach yourself and pay attention to the older techs that work with you, you will rely on them a lot in your first year or two. The pay and benefits are pretty good compared to other places you could work as a diesel technician. It’s not a bad place to work, you just need to be the squeaky wheel to get what you want. Don’t be afraid to ask for things, but be ready to not receive them in a timely manner. Your managers are easy to get along with. They definitely appreciate your work. If you treat them with respect you will receive respect in return. They are probably the most reasonable company I’ve ever worked for when it comes to vacation time, you have a limited amount but they are very understanding if it is last minute.

Lots of OT
Systems expert/ material handler (Former Employee) - Cookeville, TN - June 17, 2022
If you are single without children it is a great place to make money. You will work 19 days with 2 days off. And unless you have seniority you don't get to choose where you work.
