Pros

Partnering with other Fortune 500's, always new JV's and M&A activity. Very well paid for the Cleveland Area.

Cons

You've got to stand out and impress people everywhere if you want to continue to progress. You have to be willing to do the job that no one else will, but if you demonstrate that loyalty you are usually rewarded long term.

Pros

Having worked for another industry leader, in comparison, Eaton was much better in salary, benefits, and work life balance. The place an emphasis on safety and training, and all of my co-workers are very competent. My team actually demonstrates teamwork all the time. I see people with 37 years, 25 years, 20 years .... this company values productive individuals.

Cons

We work most holidays, that doesn't bother me, but I have seen people leave and that was one of the issues they vocalized.

Pros

The company offers many professional development opportunities. There is even an "Eaton University" where you can attend (in person or virtual) many interest or career related courses. In setting yearly goals, you can see how aligned your goals are with your manager's goals, all the way to the CEO's goals. Also very collaborative culture... We were encouraged to share best practices and reach out to other Eaton employees across the globe! Very ethical company. Unlike some companies I've worked for, this company definitely "walks the talk"!

Cons

As with any large corporation, it's easy to feel like a cog in the wheel. Also tends to have too much red tape sometimes but nothing that I felt to impede with my work.
