Business Outlook

Pros

Stable Hours Workload is Light not to difficult

Cons

Not much room to grow into other departments that require you to have a degree, even if you have years of experience and knowledge of the role. Progression for raises is slow unless you really push your managers to train you in other aspects of the job

Eaton Response

We're glad to hear you appreciate the stable hours and manageable workload. We're sorry to hear that you feel our professional growth and development opportunities are insufficient. Eaton offers a wealth of professional development opportunities including, but not limited to, Eaton University - our internal continuing education center, Leadership Development Programs for a variety of career paths, and Stretch Assignment Marketplace opportunities to work on projects outside their original scope of work.
