Pros
Eaton has a good name, was the leader in the market, this is a double-edge sword as they are on a downward death spiral. Lots of really good people that want to do the right thing, unfortunately, the good people are not in management positions!
Cons
Eaton "owned" the market for powertrain components, but the market changed. They enjoyed huge margins, but the shift in market demand to a different approach meant there was nowhere to go but down. However, like every large corporation, negative growth is unacceptable, the mantra is "you need to find a way to grow", but there is no way to grow when they are unable to compete in the new world. There are unattainable targets for people in sales roles, setting up for terrible working environment. The management team of the division is really clueless and afraid to tell Eaton leadership that the game is up.
