Vehicle Group Human Resources Leadership is Truly Awful - Human Resources Manager Eaton Employee Review

Pros

Used be a collaborative and strong learning environment with great career outlook, but then all of the good HR employees left the company after several unwise leadership appointments.

Cons

Senior HR leader(s) don't understand how to manage people or provide coaching, but are very good at managing upward image. Focus on bringing in expat HR leaders who don't understand North America teams instead of promoting from within. Flattening of career path due to HR services implementation and reduced resources resulting in no upward mobility. Health benefits are ridiculously bad which the CHRO blames on a democratic government instead of taking accountability. Bad situation - you can certainly do better in this job market.

Pros

Q & CI are supported overall from the top. Quality Management Systems and procedures are embedded in the company culture...across all of Eaton. No matter what site or city you go to, it is overall the same QMS. Roles and processes are standardized, people know where to find their standard work and understand the processes...although not always followed. Overall support of iERGs is good. A lot of people stay for their entire career, so longevity can be a pro, but a con as well. Company recognition is good overall.

Cons

Low pay. Good ol' boy network for promotions. Slow to promote. Calibration process for annual performance ratings is a bit questionable at times. Company culture drastically changed over the years as LDPs (Leadership Development Participants...a rotational program) started being promoted too quickly without the maturity, wisdom and experience needed for the roles. Lack of diversity at local sites, although corporate level roles were very diverse.
