Not an ethical company!

Pros

Eaton is very large so there are opportunities to move up the ladder especially if you are willing to relocate or transfer into another division.

Cons

They portray themselves as an ethical organization however if you file a complaint through their hotline, nothing and I mean nothing will happen. No one will contact you to get more information; they may or may not tell the person a complaint was filed. If they like you nothing will happen to the person and if they don't like you they will find a way to fire you for making the complaint! Glassdoor makes you write a pro but really there aren't any. Avoid this company!

Pros

Mediocre pay. Other than that there is no pro's. Sandy Cutler wants profits and does not care about the people who actually make the product that gives them their profits.

Cons

Almost everything. Pay isnt great. Benefits are terrible. Management is unethical. Corporate promotes unethical and greed acts
