Great potential but lacking the leadership to attain it!

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent compensation. Not the best, not the worst. Great opportunities advance to new internal employment opportunities. Some good business processes as part of the Eaton Business System. If you are good at corporate politics this division can be a real winner for you! Decent training. Some great people in the trenches

Cons

Politics, politics, politics. Eaton ethics and values are excellent but not consistently practiced at Hydraulics. Consistently underperforming financials. The result is frequent cost-cutting and restructuring initiatives. Leadership is not progressive in their ideas. Seem to be stuck in the past. Lack a credible vision. Lost sight of work/life balance. Oftentimes difficult for families with children to meet demands. For a company this size, surprising lack of child care facilities and benefits. Way, way too many meetings and Powerpoint presentations. No time to get the work done except after eight to five.

Pros

Qualified people, goal oriented, good benefits. Many long timers within the company with positive inclusion of new green talent.

Cons

Organization has been tightening the belt for five years and continues to do so. Most staff lack adequate backup support; work life balance is talked about; not necessarily promoted. Good people with heavy workload makes it difficult to prove themselves.
