Eaton top management lacks creativity to be a true leader, follows other companies policies and practices.

Business Outlook

Pros

For the right person that came from the right schools and/or the right connections, career opportunities are very good. As you move up the career ladder, the salaries and benefits get really good, after a certain level, it's TOO good.

Cons

Long hours, piss-poor management planning, no real chance for career growth for the majority of the employees.

Trucks are boring, why are we doing this job?

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.
