Eaton reviews

The site I worked at had huge problems that I do not believe reflect on Eaton as a whole. The management at the site was incompetent and did not value the employees. They did not follow corporate directives and were horrible leaders. The management was made up of a group of people who worked together and it was very much an "old boys" network.

3 years ago I would have easily rated Eaton 4/5, but in the last few years they have shown how cheap they truly are and that they care surprisingly little about retaining their most experienced employees. Despite the company's stock quadrupling in the time I've been here, they are not afraid to give out MULAs (mandatory unpaid leave) to make their numbers for a quarter. Career growth plans and opportunities are emphasized but they expect you to make a business pitch for your promotion in your current role, and it literally needs to be approved by every level up management up to VP of your division. Estimated 1 year decision time. They are currently in the process of spinning off a division, and have barred those employees from applying to jobs within the rest of the company, thus limiting promotion opportunities even further. The electrical sector may be booming because of AI data centers, but when that bubble bursts, expect to be laid off or treated like peasants fortunate to have a job at all.
