      Pros

      People, they are truly the hardest working and dedicated folks I have ever worked with! Generous paid holiday schedule for most sites.

      Cons

      Massive downsizing and restructuring due to extremely short-sighted business decisions. No job is safe anymore. Unfortunately, employees have become only a liability on a balance sheet and are no longer valued for the talent and knowledge they offer every day. Horribly sad to see how the company has imploded over the past few months!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Eaton offers a fantastic number of benefits, which includes a competitive pay offering, a great working environment, and good talent development focus. As a whole, Eaton has a huge selection of opportunities, locations, and is often flexible with where you work. With flexibility in mind, Eaton is also moving closer to a "Millennial standard" with flexible work schedules, semi-tolerance towards access to social media during work, as well as moving closer to Millennial style working environments. Eaton is also a big proponent of community involvement, and encourages all employees to be a participant. They allow leave for community service events as well.

      Cons

      Eaton, albeit a strong company with a great working environment, struggles to create a comfortable atmosphere for their employees based on the challenges in the current market. Working in Vehicle Group has been especially nerve racking with a surplus of reorganizations and cost saving measures. In addition, Eaton can be selective and overly political with their hiring process, sometimes letting goals outside of strictly talent growth drive decisions. This is often manager dependent. Eaton also doesn't offer bonuses for folks under a certain salary band.

      Pros

      Salaries in sales are decent, good product offering, decent sales tools, known for quality, many smart employees, smart acquisitions, good balance portfolio.

      Cons

      Company is very corporate, lots of red tape, 2 weeks vacation for first 5 years is insulting. CEO makes too much money, too many layoffs at manufacturing level.
