Pros

Eaton is a stable, diversified company. The diversification presents many possibilities for trying new things. Eaton continues to grow, mainly by acquisitions, bringing in more opportunities. Eaton has a very transparent (clear/understood) base of values, which is constantly referenced. I've yet to see a situation where the ethics of co-workers' actions must be questioned. New ideas are valued for the most part. I've seen ideas from 'low' employees become the highest funded project at a facility. (provided there is a business case) Eaton does an annual 'employee survey' to get an idea of what employees feel about Eaton. New things have come directly from the survey results.

Cons

Management recognizing and rewarding hard work is sometimes lacking. The intent and programs are there, but not the follow through. Eaton expects a lot from its employees. As with any company, many workers want to give the minimum to get paid. This makes it hard for the rest of the employees that want to implement new or better processes/ideas/etc. (roadblocks)

Pros

Eaton overall is a solid company. Employees have pride in legacy. Truck has a strong market position in North America.

Cons

Leadership in the Truck Division is untrustworthy and inexperienced.
