Pros

Eaton has so many different areas you can learn that the job is never boring. the supervisiors work with you and Eaton has great benefits.We also took classes through Eaton university on safety how to look for things that can get people hurt.the class also tought what protective equipment we needed to have to be safe on the job and at home and the right to see msds.we also learned to move stuff we use the most closer to us to make it easier to do our job.

Cons

we get parts in from our suppliers last minute and have to work harder just to get parts to our customer. sometimes you get a co-worker who you can not make happy with anything you do and it makes it harder to work with them when they are negative all the time but I would do my best to get along with anyone

Pros

whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

Cons

Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.
