Pros

Corporate strategy and leadership are solid, financial results have been strong, work/life balance is good, pay and benefits are competitive, 4 different industries and locations all across the United States and around the world.

Cons

Constant budget restrictions due to headwinds in other geographies and businesses around the world. Diverse portfolio of businesses means yours could be divested at any time. Centralized strategy leads to tug of war between Eaton Corporate and newly acquired businesses.

Pros

Reasonable hours, paid holidays off, small plant allows interface with plant management on a regular basis

Cons

poor culture, union environment makes everything harder and rewards people for time served instead of hard work, layoffs result in more work for the people left behind, but without more money

Pros

The pay and benefits are really good for this area. Lots of potential for the company, especially since the Eaton merger. Very good Union job.

Cons

Since the merger there has been lots of change in management. It seems at times like they are lost and overlook the problems that really matter. Very poor employee relations, causing a big gap between the shop floor and upper management. Once you tenure there are very limited ways to "move up the ladder" I've been there 5 years and feel like there is not much more there for me.
