Pros

Eaton likes to promote from within and the pay is more than competitive. The company's ethical stances are true and they attempt to do business the right way. Their CEO does a good job of having a consistent voice to all employees. If you want a career and don't have any initiative to rock the boat, you can have a great job for life.

Cons

Like most companies their size, if doing the right thing costs too much money, they won't spend it. I don't feel the top managers in the company do a good job of being leaders. They don't know how to bring up top talent and help develop them outside of boring classes and trainings. Plus, I don't think the organization knows where it's going. Functional groups have conflicting goals and initiatives which garners no support from the other. They will develop and strategize on paper with beautiful wording but when it comes down to it, they don't who they want to be, don't know how to execute or just don't have the desire to put in that much work and focus on the end goal.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good including a pension plan. Flexable vacation and work hours along with the ability to work at home in some jobs. Respect, ethics, and respect for opinions are valued aspects.

Cons

Too much corporate governance, burdensome corporate reporting, and dictated processes stifle creativity. Corporate management out of touch with division issues.
