Pros

Partnering with other Fortune 500's, always new JV's and M&A activity. Very well paid for the Cleveland Area.

Cons

You've got to stand out and impress people everywhere if you want to continue to progress. You have to be willing to do the job that no one else will, but if you demonstrate that loyalty you are usually rewarded long term.

Pros

Having worked for another industry leader, in comparison, Eaton was much better in salary, benefits, and work life balance. The place an emphasis on safety and training, and all of my co-workers are very competent. My team actually demonstrates teamwork all the time. I see people with 37 years, 25 years, 20 years .... this company values productive individuals.

Cons

We work most holidays, that doesn't bother me, but I have seen people leave and that was one of the issues they vocalized.
