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.

Pros

Supposed to be a diversified player in manufacturing. Strong background in hydraulics engineering backed up with expertise across the globe.

Cons

Eaton is like this mirage that disappears when you go close to it. Atleast that's how the Service Centre out here works. The manner in which pay cuts were implemented in 2008 left a lot to be desired. Most important, people were sacked on reasons the company deemed "ETHICAL". Employees lived under the constant fear of being fired, leading to drop in morale, motivation and eventually performance levels.
