      Eaton is a dynamic place to work- great people, opportunities for growth and development, and values everyone supports.

      Pros

      Eaton has a values-based culture and builds its reputation on doing business right. Our people are our greatest asset and it shows. You have to be at work at least 40-50 hours a week and it makes such a difference in your quality of life when you truly enjoy being around your coworkers. I have made some lifelong friendships and professional connections while being at Eaton, and those are invaluable for me. Everyone is really happy and enjoys what they do. We hire really great people!

      Cons

      Compensation and benefits are slightly above market value, but you might be able to get a higher-paying job somewhere else. I think the benefits, work-life balance, values, opportunities for growth, and corporate culture is what keeps people here. Eaton has a traditional culture. It isn't a start-up tech company and doesn't have all the bells and whistles that might come with a trendy new company.

      Good Company; a lot of politics

      Pros

      Stable company, new HQ building is impressive, pay and benefits are in line with most middle ranges publicized.

      Cons

      A lot of focus on surveys and addressing issues, but reality is that it creates busywork and an avenue to use things against anyone who is not the boss' favorite. Brown-nosers get advanced over good workers. People in management positions are not necessarily good at managing people.

      Pros

      The best Co-workers ever. My best friends many I consider brothers and sisters. I compare the work environment to the Old TV show "Mash" . Everyone works long hours, has enormous workloads and has very high stress, you have to trust your co-workers for support and too often comfort.

      Cons

      My perception was there are 12 VP s measuring one worker's output. many in leadership positions have no idea about the product, how it works, what the applications are or even how to quote. Quality though gets talked about never seems to have real corrective action. My second perception is the Eaton culture puts profits before people. Net salaries decreased year after year as company paid benefits were rolled back onto the employee's salary. And as for diversity again they talk the talk but fail in the real. The Tobacco Free policy was what ended my 26 year career.
