Great growth opportunities...No so great leadership

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Growth opportunities, end market growth The aerospace group is the reult of multiple acquisitions over the past 5 years and therefore should be viewed with muhc scketicism. The hydraulics group is the worst of any of the 5 Groups hving been the result of the Vickers Aeroquip acqustion and some other horrile acquisitions over thee past 10 years. Then there is the shining star electricla group whihc has the Westinghouseand C-H brnad pedigree whihc makes it great to work for.

Cons

Inexperienced management. Soul-less brand. Outsourcing fleecing of american mfg jobs. Num ber one goal of sr management is to reue tax rate by setting up Swissco tax structures for Rick Fearon.

Trucks are boring, why are we doing this job?

Engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Has grown alot and diversified over the past 5+ years. Decent but shrinking benefits package.

Cons

1. Where are we going from here? I don't know. I wonder if Sandy is beginning to inflate the coinage of Eaton PR and retire on his laurels. 2. Every year you fill out a long and winding employee engagement / satisfaction survey, and every year every plant forms teams to address the poor results, and every year the employee satisfaction gets lower. For the past 10 years at least. 3. Do I dare say it? Trucks, hydraulics, and staple electronics are all dull. Yes, noble ... but dull.

Pros

Good benefits scheme, early finish on Fridays

Cons

Can't plan or organise anything, always last minute, too little too late. Management don't care about employee wellbeing, HR don't care about employees wellbeing
