Pros

The Cooper name carries great strength on your resume but it will come with a price.

Cons

The management team has a lot of politics and the VP of Marketing and Sales,Rick Pabst, is not qualified for the role he is in and is personally responsible along with the president of the company, Laura Ulz, for losing over half of the companies sales in the retail and distribution channels in 2012. The company was just acquired by Eaton and most likely this division will be sold off or merged in with another divisions. The lower level management team for the most part are good to work for but they have no authority to make any discisons making it tough to have an impact on the business. Out of the other Fortune 100 companies I have worked for the company unfortunately ranks last.
