Pros

Good group of people to work with. Decent benefits and pay. 1 week holiday shutdown in December is always nice.

Cons

It is very hard to move up in this organization. Many of the people have been in their same positions for 20+ years. Many of the younger people end up moving on to different companies after a couple years. Eaton pays for education, but a lot of the people end up leaving as soon as they finish their degrees because there are so few opportunities for advancement. Also, this is a union facility, and the union can be difficult to deal with at times.

Pros

Many locations through out the US and world ranging from small towns to large cities. Very strong eithics - one strike and you're out Good blend of talent from straight out of college to seasoned employees

Cons

Secrecy in some job opportunities, sometimes it seems like who you know to get a job and that when interviewing, you know you are just getting a courtesy interview. Some jobs post, others just seem to get filled. Lack of continuity in pay.
