      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The work is very challenging and engaging. There are a lot of career advancement opportunities. Eaton has plants and facilties all over the world. Ethics are very important. Excellent diversity in business segments. Eaton has a diverse supplier and customer base allowing for excellent travel opportunities. Instructor led training and on line training is very important to Eaton culture.

      Cons

      The work environment is very high stress. The corporate culture is very conservative. Strict HR policies and inflexible employee schedules for non-manufacturing positions. The typical work day is long, 10 to 12 hours on average. People work during weekends, vacations, and holidays. Annual review process is very involved and time consuming.

      Nice company with nice people

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very ethical company with good people. They focus heavily on ethics and there are several systems set up in the company to help employees deal with situations in a anonymous fashion. If you're looking for an enviroment that's not to challenging then you should be fine.

      Cons

      Plants often located in poor rural towns to take advantage of cheap labor. If you are engineering or more technical you may find Eaton frustrating as a lot of their facilities are plants. This means you are often dealing with people who don't have technical backgrounds or even college educations. They can also be somewhat stingy as there are no free drinks or food unlike other places I have worked.
