      Pros

      Decent pay great pay if you can cozy up to your boss... that’s not how I work

      Cons

      As another former high up employee said to me... Eaton puts too much dependency on people coming out of the Leadership Program. Just because they complete it doesn’t mean they are a good fit as management. After many years of employment and great prior years of reviews suddenly I was told I’m not a good employee... and released. Her last words to me was ... “Give me a break I’ve never managed anyone before” I am dependable and knowledgeable

      Pros

      Plenty of challenges, diversity of work unlimited. Certain plants have better spirit than others. Eaton should not be judged by the Wisconsin plants, as they appear to be atypical due to a poorly completed integration effort. Salaried pay scale seems high for the area, but stress is too.

      Cons

      No work life balance, no recognition of extra effort, high turnover in management and hourly. Pay scale is deceiving, you are given raises and then in difficult times they are taken away plus some in a process called MULA, mandatory unpaid leave of absence. This requires you to give back One Week without pay, which normally equals the salary increase you just received. After 4 years if you look just at take home it appears that you make more than when you started. In realty when you get your W2 you are actually making less than when you started! Essentially losing pace with your peers.
