Pros

A good portion of the folks will be retiring in the next 5 to 10 year. This may help facilitate advancement opportunities.

Cons

Promotions and raises are few and far between for people with less than 10 years of experience. Even if you get a high performing review you may not recieve any raise. Make sure to get any verbal promises in writing. Make sure you are comfortable making the initial amount you are hired at for the next 4 to 6 years.

Pros

Eaton is a stable, diversified company. The diversification presents many possibilities for trying new things. Eaton continues to grow, mainly by acquisitions, bringing in more opportunities. Eaton has a very transparent (clear/understood) base of values, which is constantly referenced. I've yet to see a situation where the ethics of co-workers' actions must be questioned. New ideas are valued for the most part. I've seen ideas from 'low' employees become the highest funded project at a facility. (provided there is a business case) Eaton does an annual 'employee survey' to get an idea of what employees feel about Eaton. New things have come directly from the survey results.

Cons

Management recognizing and rewarding hard work is sometimes lacking. The intent and programs are there, but not the follow through. Eaton expects a lot from its employees. As with any company, many workers want to give the minimum to get paid. This makes it hard for the rest of the employees that want to implement new or better processes/ideas/etc. (roadblocks)
