Pros

Very ethical company with good people. They focus heavily on ethics and there are several systems set up in the company to help employees deal with situations in a anonymous fashion. If you're looking for an enviroment that's not to challenging then you should be fine.

Cons

Plants often located in poor rural towns to take advantage of cheap labor. If you are engineering or more technical you may find Eaton frustrating as a lot of their facilities are plants. This means you are often dealing with people who don't have technical backgrounds or even college educations. They can also be somewhat stingy as there are no free drinks or food unlike other places I have worked.

Pros

The starting salary is average for entry level engineers. Also, fellow coworkers are easygoing and good people to work with.

Cons

Lack of precedent, unclear ambiguous directions from management, forced corporate policies that don't fit the branch, bad work culture, dilapidated facility, low pay raises, very little vacation and holidays. This branch was recently acquired by Eaton corporation and probably misrepresents the company. Much of the "tribe knowledge" has left the company, leaving a severe lack of precedent to work from. The branch is thus in a stressful rebuilding phase and unfortunately the employees suffer. There is also an overwhelming stench of boiling coolant throughout the facility from the manufacturing plant.
