Pluspunten

Recognized as a leader in many fields, Eaton hires great people and has a good salary and benefits package. I worked for the company for a long time and would still be there today had they not closed the plant.

Minpunten

Sometimes the company sees itself as the "Cadillac" product when the market is really looking for a "Chevrolet" solution. There is a MAJOR disconnect between support services (IT, Finance, etc.) and the manufacturing and sales functions. This causes problems when the IT group tries to implement software and does not understand the processes of a manufacturing facility or support a sales person when they call in for help with their PC. If you are looking for a place to work for the rest of your life, be prepared to move every 8-10 years.

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.
