      Pros

      One of the many reasons why I love to work for Eaton is that it makes you produce great results with a sense of satisfaction. I have worked at Eaton for almost 3 years and there is not one day where I have felt bad going to work. The way Eaton treats their employees are in line why they are one of the best companies to work for. The other reasons why I love to work for Eaton are good career path, diversified manufacturer, great benefits and so on. One place where we could improve is to diversify our existing business and become more globalized.

      Cons

      I personally did not see any downside with the company.

      Pros

      PAY!! Compared to other places to work, these guys are dishing out cash like it's going out of style. They are extremely competitive...but get ready to work! There are great career opportunities around the entire country. Most importantly, they want you to keep learning and will pay for you to go to school to get a higher degree (including books). You are recognized by upper management and your co-workers constantly for good work and many people here are friendly and outgoing. The work never gets boring and you will learn more than you thought you ever could in a short period of time.

      Cons

      A lot of work. If you value spending a lot of time with your family, you might not want to work here and move up the ladder. Maybe lower positions are for you but they expect you to give a lot to the company. I see many of upper managers travel A LOT and attend meetings "out the behind". There is a lot of competition here, so if you do not want to work for your higher position, don't apply for a job. This is a very large company so it is easy to get lost and things take a while to get done because of the work volume.

      Pros

      Benefits are decent. 401K and pension is a plus. Eaton does offer alot of training to help further career development and product knowledge. Eaton employees qualify for discounted eaton electrical / cutler hammer products such as breakers, load centers, surge suppression devices, back up power (generators), transfer switches, etc etc etc

      Cons

      Lack of communication between groups is frustrating. If you get 'too good' at your job, management may try to keep you from leaving your position for another position.
