Pros

Strong financial performance. Good breadth of product line. Forward thinking senior management. Continually looking to build the business through organic growth and acquisition.

Cons

Poor work life balance. More interested in implementing a management philosophy than taking care of customers. Heavy handed, cumbersome, interference from functional management.

Pros

work/life balance are optimal; office culture is generally positive and accepts varying perspectives, compensation is fair for marketplace.

Cons

Minorities are preferred and promoted over non-minorities, especially when choosing between internal and external candidates. This is unfortunate when internal minority DOES NOT have the skillset for the position. But hey, it looks good on paper to have minorities in upper-level positions, even if it negatively affects the department.

Pros

Good Benefits, but could be better. Good Training.

Cons

My company was part of a buyout(Powerware). Eaton's idea of running the business is to run it in the ground. They do this with poor management that's idea of increasing revenue is through cutting employees salary and commission. Needs to implement a Roth 401K.
