Pros

Pay is higher than most companies in the Nacogdoches area. You get paid breaks and lunch. Pays overtime after working over 8 hours daily, pays overtime on Saturdays, and double pay on Sundays. Offers several health insurances and has a good 401k match

Cons

No work-life balance. Expect to work almost every weekend. You have quotas to meet hourly with ancient machines that are unpredictable and break down. There is a management and worker division. Terrible hiring practices and interviewing.

Pros

Eaton has a good name, was the leader in the market, this is a double-edge sword as they are on a downward death spiral. Lots of really good people that want to do the right thing, unfortunately, the good people are not in management positions!

Cons

Eaton "owned" the market for powertrain components, but the market changed. They enjoyed huge margins, but the shift in market demand to a different approach meant there was nowhere to go but down. However, like every large corporation, negative growth is unacceptable, the mantra is "you need to find a way to grow", but there is no way to grow when they are unable to compete in the new world. There are unattainable targets for people in sales roles, setting up for terrible working environment. The management team of the division is really clueless and afraid to tell Eaton leadership that the game is up.

Pros

Very well structured, there are processes available for everything you need to do

Cons

Leadership just doesn't care about people; Diversity is a buzzword, and only aggressive / ruthless people are valued.
