Pros
Eaton is very interested in building great employees. This results in great training and education opportunities, challenging assignements, opportunites to travel, and many chances to have your voice heard by others. I never feel like I can't share my ideas or concerns with management. The company also practices what they preach. In the annual reports and employee meetings they talk about being ethical, honest, and good corporate citizens. I have seen several cases of these standards being enforced and not in a way to satisify the "bare minimum". This makes me feel proud to work for the company and well as confident that if I have any issues they won't be just glossed over.
Cons
Like most companies in this economny there are always times of the year where we have to watch all spending. If this happens to be when your travel or training is scheduled it is likely to be cut. Also it seems that we are always tasked with doing more with less... less people, less resources, less time. Also like most places there are always those people that you just don't like to work with (or for). If you get stuck working with this type of person everything can seem much worse. Luckily, there are usually opportunities to move to other postions within the company.
