Pros

Decent pay and excellent benefits since Eaton took over. Location is good as it's not in the heart of the city.

Cons

Way overworked, not appreciated, internal processes are highly lacking, very micro managed, departments lie to each other instead of working together as a team to accomplish customer satisfaction. Lots of post sales issues that dominate daily time of getting new orders and quotes in. Systems that don't speak well to each other. Upper management does not seem to be involved enough so they don't get involved until it's too late. Inventory can not be relied on. There are no allocations done...the system is totally broken.

Pros

The best Co-workers ever. My best friends many I consider brothers and sisters. I compare the work environment to the Old TV show "Mash" . Everyone works long hours, has enormous workloads and has very high stress, you have to trust your co-workers for support and too often comfort.

Cons

My perception was there are 12 VP s measuring one worker's output. many in leadership positions have no idea about the product, how it works, what the applications are or even how to quote. Quality though gets talked about never seems to have real corrective action. My second perception is the Eaton culture puts profits before people. Net salaries decreased year after year as company paid benefits were rolled back onto the employee's salary. And as for diversity again they talk the talk but fail in the real. The Tobacco Free policy was what ended my 26 year career.
