Smoke and mirrors for a once great company

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Passionate and motivated co-workers (for the most part), leadership and development opportunities, strong brand equity.

Cons

Lack of leadership and vision, driven by top line growth coupled with short sighted decisions and lack of empathy towards employees. The company does a great job selling itself during the interview process and I believe HR genuinely tries to implement meaningful programs to make it a better place to work but at the end of the day, monthly and quarterly sales numbers are #1 - no matter what the cost. After the Eaton acquisition, you heard almost daily how great an employer Eaton is to its employees, I never experienced that at this division.

Pros

Quality leadership at the top, but it doesn't always make it down to the middle level managers. Doing some growing right now... but...

Cons

Typical blind run by the numbers company in many instances. Annual reviews are a joke at any large corporation where you are just a number. Growing, but not sure where the old Cooper companies fit in at the moment. Beware old Cooper employees!
