Pros

Benefits are better than any in the area, 3 years fully vested, 3% 401k match, and paid time off just to name a few. Too many to list here but I typically go through employers about every 3-4 years so I can make a fair assessment. They’re very flexible when it comes to work schedules. Compensation isn’t all that great but I think the benefits make the difference. My fellow employees are great to work with making it easier to go in every day.

Cons

Management, what can I say here except typical for any company regardless the size. Like I said in the pros, I've been through many companies and can give a good judgment call on this. Management can say that they care about their employees all they want but the bottom line is if they aren’t making their bottom line then they make changes. I don’t mean subtle changes either, more often than not, knee jerk reactions that have a tendency to disrupt the flow of things. Eaton’s policy is to change managers from the top down every 2 years or so. Of course when this happens the new ones rolling in have to make a name for themselves, hence the knee jerk reactions to change. I’m not a disgruntled employee by any means; I’d recommend this company to anyone that asks. Engineers don't listen either, apparently several years of practical experience doesn’t equate to a bachelors degree in engineering.
