Eaton Filtration - No Don't Do it

Anonymous employee

Pros

predictable, repetitive work - unchanging environment. If you enjoy being micromanaged this is the place to work.

Cons

Sales have steadily declined every year since the current Filtration GM has been at the helm (8+ years). In 2022, the business group is relying on inflation and price increases to achieve record sales numbers, not because the share of market is expanding or because of organic growth. The majority of team members Salary band 7 and below (individual contributors) have been doing the same job for decades. Most are just waiting on retirement. There is no interest to change or try new things. The North American filtration business comprises primarily of 2 major acquisitions made throughout the years and each of those businesses still tries to operate like the "good ole days". "Back in the [pervious company] days we used to do it this way." is said regularly throughout the day. Neither is interested in collaboration or moving forward uniformly as one business. The HR function is a revolving door of 2 years and out. There are no career growth opportunities as management prefers to look outside the business to fill open managerial positions. All decisions and control is with the GM - she has to approve,/sign off on every decision or request in the business - there is minimal trust throughout the organization.

TERRIBLE AVOID

Pros

None at all, all negative

Cons

The most toxic work environment I have ever been ashamed to be part of, management were very quick to disregard aircraft regulations when building/testing replacement and aftermarket parts. Specifications completely ignored to get jobs out the door, a very “he said she said” culture encouraged within, to the point management would come and have little wining sessions about other employees to most employees, felt like being back on a school playground. Unqualified to work with aircraft, management or aftermarket repairs is a joke, not fit to manage a house plant. People with disabilities are looked down upon, anyone with anything about them teased for, worse place I have worked and could not be happier after leaving.
