Pros

Eaton offers a fantastic number of benefits, which includes a competitive pay offering, a great working environment, and good talent development focus. As a whole, Eaton has a huge selection of opportunities, locations, and is often flexible with where you work. With flexibility in mind, Eaton is also moving closer to a "Millennial standard" with flexible work schedules, semi-tolerance towards access to social media during work, as well as moving closer to Millennial style working environments. Eaton is also a big proponent of community involvement, and encourages all employees to be a participant. They allow leave for community service events as well.

Cons

Eaton, albeit a strong company with a great working environment, struggles to create a comfortable atmosphere for their employees based on the challenges in the current market. Working in Vehicle Group has been especially nerve racking with a surplus of reorganizations and cost saving measures. In addition, Eaton can be selective and overly political with their hiring process, sometimes letting goals outside of strictly talent growth drive decisions. This is often manager dependent. Eaton also doesn't offer bonuses for folks under a certain salary band.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
