Pros

Global, promoted furthering education and certifications.

Cons

Eaton has basically dwindled down the US salaried workforce to the point where it can simply just fill orders and no more. Day-to-day survival is all that matters, yet the expectations of a world class organization remain. Absolutely no chance of ever accomplishing your goals or getting a raise. Basically the definition of insanity for me. I joined Eaton in 2002, and today it has 1/3 the salaried workforce and double the sales! Of course, management never saw this same reduction--there are more far more cheifs than indians than when I started. Heck, I had 7 different people who thought I worked for them! I mean, by the time I left it litteraly felt like the opening scene from "Office Space."

Eaton also provided a comprehensive

Cons

There was no management involvement in the training, development and explanation of job specifications, of new employees. The lack of top down communication places new and tenured employees at a disadvantage and often results in employees having no direction and no development.
