      Experience was overall a good company however there are pockets of depts that have weak leadership.

      Pros

      Eaton has some solid leaders at the top but most of the time it does not trickle down to middle management. Both Sandy Cutler and Rick Fearon are strong leaders and are moving the company in a good direction.

      Cons

      Managers are not strong leaders and do not know how to motivate their employees. Some depts, like mine, are very old school in the way they manage their groups and are not willing to bend. For example, working virtually is not a concept they would even consider.

      Why not the best...

      Pros

      Engineers rarely have to come with any new ideas. Management doesn't like wasting time on new designs. Just tweak what is already there--make it work.

      Cons

      Office politics on steroids. If you are not a professional, you really don't want to work for this company. Management has no respect for skilled trades. Not much more than a good old boys club. Female Engineers beware. You won't like your treatment here.

      A workplace with some very strong positives (as well as some drawbacks to note)

      Pros

      Very good compensation, particularly for the area. Excellent benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k) that includes opportunities for tuition reimbursement. A large corporation with employment/advancement opportunities across many different divisions and groups.

      Cons

      Much division and tension between management and staff. Kind of an "old boys network", where some people earn their positions and promotions based more on their personal relationships/histories than on their ability or job performance. Not always a very fair or friendly work environment for women.
