Pros

Strong company Potential to be good again If you aren’t not in IT, it’s pretty good

Cons

HR Unethical behavior of IT Executive Leadership - screaming at staff is a regular occurrence. Unethical hiring practices - if you aren’t a friend of the CIO don’t bother to apply to Eaton or look to be promoted. VP and Director jobs are created to bring friends in or bring in previous GE employees. No growth opportunities. The only way to get promoted or get a raise is to take on 2 or 3 different jobs at one time. They don’t backfill positions when employees leave, they assign the additional work to an existing employee and expect them to do two or three jobs for a few extra dollars. No communication or team work between groups. Everyone has their own agenda, and priorities and goals change daily.

I worked at a dying manufacturing plant (crouse-hinds) acquired by Eaton 2 years ago that was steadily declining due to lack of and most likely not a representation of the company
