Pros

Benefits similar to large corporations (medical, dental, 401k). Company uses Eaton Business System to drive results and systematic approach. Financially driven company.

Cons

Very little opportunities for mid-level managers and no incentive program, only salary below other industrial equivalents (Honeywell, Parker). Focus on short-term results with sacrificing long-term initiatives.

Pros

Real international opportunities, fairly diversified businesses and WW presence. Some clear pocket of talents within company.

Cons

Eaton chose to maintain dividend at target level despite posting a loss in Q1/Q2 2009 and at the same time terminated 13'000 employees... This is not sharing the pain. Tax optimization is not a long-term business strategy.
