Pluspunten

Salaried Employees....at this site most managers do not track vacation time used and HR has expressed a term Take as much as you want, there are no restrictions. Now that may not be the case with all managers as there are some that go by the rules but you don't know until he's your boss. Negotiate leave if they extend a offer or be upfront before hand they will flex on your vacation allowance. Hourly employees- think twice

Minpunten

The new benefits for 2016 are terrible. They keep taking away which is something Eaton seems to enjoy doing. If you are married and you have some insurance with your spouse but they don't offer something that Eaton does. This coming year you can not take for example dental. You either have to take the whole package or nothing at all. very unfair. Its not fair for the employees but I guess its a great cost savings to them as a company,. Flexible spending accounts went away...WHY? its a non cost benefit to the employer other than funding it up front at the beginning of the year all the while the employee pays it back with Payroll deduction. Don't' take the job because of benefits...Eaton's motto is They don't want to Offer the Best Benefits they just want to be on Average. Why not try to be competitive with better than average????

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.
