      Pros

      love the culture and trustworthiness. Employees are held to a high standard but trusted to do the right thing. Very few employees take advantage of the arrangement.

      Cons

      Too easy on employees at times. Seems like they have to commit an infraction too many times to lost their job.

      Pros

      Stepping in the door I was very surprised at the how the culture of the South Milwaukee plant is focused on personal growth, workplace safety, and Work/family relationships. The job was an excellent hands on opportunity and a chance to learn from the very knowledgeable experienced engineers. As an insight into the kind of people you would work with, my father ,who lives in phoenix, AZ, became very ill and when I told my manager he did everything he could to help me transfer to Eaton's Phoenix location. Even the plant manager offered to help me out in any way he could. I've never seen that level of commitment to each employees personal growth and level of transparency/communication to upper level managers.

      Cons

      Be prepared for hands on engineering, I went through about 10 pairs of dress pants on the shop floor troubleshooting issues and improving manufacturing processes. A lot of the most experienced engineers are retiring and the plant is in need of new power system/ electrical engineers. Also, the location is not in the most ideal location but is only 30 minutes from downtown milwaukee.
