Pros

very safety oriented, this is the only positive which isnt even enough to fill up the twenty word minimum for this section

Cons

Eaton managements first instinct in the face of adversity is to go after their employees. I have been here just over two years. They have instituted forced unpaid leave, delayed the timeline for handing out raises every year and now they are taking away our 401k matching. All these things are pay cuts in different packaging and all because they expect the market to decline. Heres my favorite quote from this American company "further strengthening of the U.S. dollar, which impacts us negatively" which was also one of their justifications for the pay cuts. Their health insurance is the worst i have ever had anywhere and their pay is not competitive if you live in an expensive area.

Pros

The salary is decent compared to others

Cons

1. Incompetent Management 2. Many managers who lead technical teams are technically unskilled. This is highly demotivating for someone aspiring for a technical career path 3. Process oriented work - employees are made to do do redundant tasks all the time. Not technically challenging enough
