Pros

The benefits are somewhat decent and you get to work with some OK people. They have some super world class training facilities and some amazing people running them. You will not lack for training in any way. You have decent resources to work with. It takes a certain mind set to work and be happy here. There are a lot of heavily entrenched old-timers who are mostly top notch folks.

Cons

Their entire IT department is a totalitarian system staffed by control mongering Nazis that severely limits your productivity. Everything and every aspect of every task that involves using a computer of any type is monitored and restricted. There is a good amount of micro-management in some divisions and departments. The compensation is below standard and you will need to put in several hard years before you get anywhere near what you're worth. If you get the opportunity to make a decent salary, you will jump through an insane amount of hoops and be worked to the bone to earn it.

Pros

Eaton likes to promote from within and the pay is more than competitive. The company's ethical stances are true and they attempt to do business the right way. Their CEO does a good job of having a consistent voice to all employees. If you want a career and don't have any initiative to rock the boat, you can have a great job for life.

Cons

Like most companies their size, if doing the right thing costs too much money, they won't spend it. I don't feel the top managers in the company do a good job of being leaders. They don't know how to bring up top talent and help develop them outside of boring classes and trainings. Plus, I don't think the organization knows where it's going. Functional groups have conflicting goals and initiatives which garners no support from the other. They will develop and strategize on paper with beautiful wording but when it comes down to it, they don't who they want to be, don't know how to execute or just don't have the desire to put in that much work and focus on the end goal.
