Pros

Good work environment, excellent pay and benefits.

Cons

Very political, it's who you know and "not" how much you do. Oh, did you work at GE .... Then You're part of the good ole boy club. Marketing holds the power to fire, never say "no" or "disagree" or you will suddenly be offered an "or else" transfer to Siberia. Product engineering and operations will not stand behind you if you go against marketing by trying to enforce their own company policy. If you have an opinion you better keep it to yourself and if you're over 50 your too old to be trainable and you'll be lucky if you make it more than 3 years. Be careful with relocation, they may cry recession and change the reimbursement rules.

Pros

Stable company to work for with great benefits including paid gym. Eaton University is a good place to learn new abilities. I am very proud to be part of Eaton.

Cons

Not good at paying for the risks you face at work. Does little to recognize your extra efforts. It is as political as any other company. Not much latest research on Electrical Side.
