Pluspunten

Eaton for a long time was a good job that promoted from within and encouraged employee engagement in leadership projects.

Minpunten

Eaton no longer seems to care for its employees. There is a constant fear of layoffs as they happen often and are unexpected. The work that you are required to perform is ever increasing while your pay doesn't increase even close to what the standard inflation rate is. The health insurance is basically non existent and has increased in cost dramatically over the last few years and reduced its coverage at the same time. Expect to pay around $10k out of pocket before the insurance pays a penny. While the insurance and benefits have all kept rising at a staggering rate the pay has not. There are regular emails stating that they are delaying your yearly raise indefinitely. They also require you to take unpaid time off to help them reduce their costs. Overall they will sell you with a lot of promises but at the end of the day most of them are hollow and never come to fruition. it is unfortunate that this company is declining at the rate that it is.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
