Pros

I do not have anything good to say about Eaton for I feel that we have become a second rate company since the acquisition of Cooper Industries. We were told that this was a merger, but I don't agree with all the secrets and the covering of the Cooper Industries logo.

Cons

We are a legacy Cooper facility. Our pay and benefits have been drastically affected by the acquisition of Cooper Industries by the Eaton Corporation. We have become so overcrowded and disorganized since the takeover. I feel that we have lost that small family atmosphere. Eaton makes me feel like a number instead of somebody. I think Eaton is too big. Monopolies will tend to fall in the long run.

Pros

Eaton is very supportive of giving you the freedom to explore new ideas and better ways to do things. They are supportive of the decisions you make if you have the justification to make them.

Cons

I am very questionable of the decision making of the senior leadership. Even if the decisions are wrong, they are quick to lay people off that have no control over what happens. Overall compensation seems low for the value brought.
