Doesn’t care about employees, moderately unethical

Leadership development program (ldp)

Pros

You can learn a lot and if they like you they’ll move you around the company. It’s good experience for when you need to jump ship.

Cons

Pay isn’t at market anymore, leaders play favorites, company wouldn’t move rotational employees during Covid and doesn’t even have in person orientation for LDP new hires anymore. Tough environment to start a first job in and vacation is awful, especially if you’re a newer employee. Benefits overall are just ok. Not equal treatment.

Pros

Respected company by customers. Want to be number one in markets .

Cons

Company does not seem to worry about employee anymore. Try to operate a company without enough people. VERY LITTLE SUPPORT for salespeople you have to do everything yourself. Inside sales are shared by 10 salespeople. Company used to be a sales company now it is run by Human Resources. They say year after year they understand and changes are coming . Guess what 20 years pass and nothing changes . It gets worse by the year because company is huge . We sell inspite of Eaton !!!!
