Pros

lot's of opportunity to learn and grow within a multitude of areas. Eaton will take their best and brightest and train them, take care of them, move them around the country/world to teach you about the company. Eaton is in an incredible position to take on emerging markets, like hybrid technology, and wind turbine growth.

Cons

Eaton has a silo approach where many people have two bosses that they report to, which of course can create complications as far as goals are concerned and who has the final say.

Pros

Benefits are good, compatible with other Fortune 200's. Education reimbursement program is good. Salary is neutral compared to competitors. Ok place to start your career.

Cons

Don't expect to make much more money than your starting salary. Review system is a joke that is not used to make long term employment decisions. If you've shut down a plant somewhere you stand a good chance of getting a job. That seems to be the main requriement for employment.
