Pros

Pay and benefits are nice. No time clocks, no set break times which unfortunately I seen employees abuse on a regular basis. Much of leadership usually leaves you alone because many don't really want to do anything accept take orders from management. There were a few good ones, some not.

Cons

Toxic environment caused by over worked apathetic workforce, leadership indifference related to under achievers, using ambitious team members to accommodate those under achievers and their own lethargy in leadership. This also leads teams to not meet goals and create excessive and unnecessary overtime. Soon corporate will see this and decide to cut costs and move the plant to a place with less expensive labor, and to a locale closer to customers. I seen it happen with two places I worked already.

Pros

Offers a competitive pay, benefits are okay. Great leaders at the top levels (General Managers, Human Resources, etc.) and a company that you can be proud to work with. Eaton University is a good place to learn new abilities. Solid philosophies of safety and ethics, E-Star system has a lot of potential. I am very proud to be part of Eaton.

Cons

Not good at paying for the risks you face at work. Does little to recognize your extra efforts, should use the E-Star system more often. Very political(As in political favors and favoritism) at the lower levels of leadership(Managers, supervisors and coordinators).
