Lots of potential but too many missed opportunities.

Pros

The company is a solid place to work that does care about the people who work for them. Workforce development and work-life balance is relatively important.

Cons

Lots of resources but too conservative on its strategic approach. Leadership programs actually lack a lot of leadership and careers path are not very well defined. Once you're in one of these programs, you have very little control over the direction it takes. Very little mentor support or desire from senior leaders to do so. Very disorganized in some management areas, particularly at the corporate level.

Totally different culture from when I joined

Pros

Global, promoted furthering education and certifications.

Cons

Eaton has basically dwindled down the US salaried workforce to the point where it can simply just fill orders and no more. Day-to-day survival is all that matters, yet the expectations of a world class organization remain. Absolutely no chance of ever accomplishing your goals or getting a raise. Basically the definition of insanity for me. I joined Eaton in 2002, and today it has 1/3 the salaried workforce and double the sales! Of course, management never saw this same reduction--there are more far more cheifs than indians than when I started. Heck, I had 7 different people who thought I worked for them! I mean, by the time I left it litteraly felt like the opening scene from "Office Space."
