Pros

Overall, I like working at Eaton. In my opinion, the biggest strength is the culture compared to most automotive companies. Management is more laid back, and it's less stressful. - easygoing culture compared to other automotive companies - good work/life balance, relatively low stress - friendly/helpful co-workers - career development is a high priority and taken seriously by management - good on-boarding process and training opportunities

Cons

Overall, the cons are not horrible - just little things that could be improved. - 401k match suspension and mandatory unpaid leaves of absence for those above a certain level hurt morale - too many "report out"/waste of time meetings - can take too long to process things through systems - lack of accountability or consequences from management if objectives aren't met - too much pandering to Wall Street and lack of implementation of long term strategy

Eaton Stumbles

Pros

Products have a good reputation in the marketplace

Cons

Job uncertainty due to executive management incompetence. Eaton has stumbled since their reach exceeded their grasp and they acquired Cooper. The fallout has been a January downsizing across the company that hurt people with good performance records. One unfortunate individual at Bussmann was downsized when he was planning to retire within a year. This is how loyalty is rewarded.

Pros

I was given good opportunity for advancement and was recognized for my hard work. My leader was strong and I learned great deal from her.

Cons

Eaton expects a great deal from their employees. It has been said 1 yr at Eaton can feel like 7.
