Why not the best...

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Engineers rarely have to come with any new ideas. Management doesn't like wasting time on new designs. Just tweak what is already there--make it work.

Cons

Office politics on steroids. If you are not a professional, you really don't want to work for this company. Management has no respect for skilled trades. Not much more than a good old boys club. Female Engineers beware. You won't like your treatment here.

A workplace with some very strong positives (as well as some drawbacks to note)

Marketing coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good compensation, particularly for the area. Excellent benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k) that includes opportunities for tuition reimbursement. A large corporation with employment/advancement opportunities across many different divisions and groups.

Cons

Much division and tension between management and staff. Kind of an "old boys network", where some people earn their positions and promotions based more on their personal relationships/histories than on their ability or job performance. Not always a very fair or friendly work environment for women.

Business Outlook

Pros

The money was good and the overall experience was not bad.

Cons

The site I worked at had huge problems that I do not believe reflect on Eaton as a whole. The management at the site was incompetent and did not value the employees. They did not follow corporate directives and were horrible leaders. The management was made up of a group of people who worked together and it was very much an "old boys" network.
