Senior management is questionable

Pros

Decent benefits, good customer base. Most of the employees (non senior managers) who work here are decent people.

Cons

Behavior of certain members of senior management is questionable, they don't practice what they preach. Inconsistent message from corporate vs. what is actually observed at the plant level with regard to ethics. Favoritism and bad employee morale is common throughout the facility.

Pros

Supposed to be a diversified player in manufacturing. Strong background in hydraulics engineering backed up with expertise across the globe.

Cons

Eaton is like this mirage that disappears when you go close to it. Atleast that's how the Service Centre out here works. The manner in which pay cuts were implemented in 2008 left a lot to be desired. Most important, people were sacked on reasons the company deemed "ETHICAL". Employees lived under the constant fear of being fired, leading to drop in morale, motivation and eventually performance levels.

Pros

Benefits are good, compatible with other Fortune 200's. Education reimbursement program is good. Salary is neutral compared to competitors. Ok place to start your career.

Cons

Don't expect to make much more money than your starting salary. Review system is a joke that is not used to make long term employment decisions. If you've shut down a plant somewhere you stand a good chance of getting a job. That seems to be the main requriement for employment.
