Pros

Good Benefits, though employee costs are rising (like most other corporations). Great work/life balance, management very understanding of family obligations.

Cons

Promotions based primarily on who you know, not what you can do, though Management would deny this fact vehemently. Eaton of One is preached, but not practiced in most locations. Sectors still very siloed and separate-no uniformity across locations.

Pros

It is an Eaton company.

Cons

Poor Management Out-dated systems Not willing to utilize the tools given to provide a better work experience. Not willing to think outside the box. Very much a group of people who believe "this is the way we've always done it so it must be the right and only way".

Pros

Eaton has a high caliber of people. I feel like I can learn from my peers. The compensation is fair, and the workload is also reasonable. There is much opportunity to grow within the organization.

Cons

Eaton Hydraulics believes you should be promoted outside of your current location. This makes it difficult to stay in one location for more than 3-5 years if you want a promotion.
