great crew members great management very flexible steady hours we also do team building were we all get together for lunch and also go for team building

This is one of my most favorite companies I ever worked for.I started working as a machine operator a few months later I was promoted to join the quality department, that was the greatest thing that happened to me I loved the work.Then soon after I had another promotion to become the Sr. Quality Inspector,In charge of training some engineer and other – more... quality inspectors. – less

I was very young when I started working for Eaton Corporation. I was 18 and although my title was clerk typist but I had a very high workload as if I was a secretary. I worked on the B-1 Bomber and other Government Contracts. My co-workers were former Military personnel and extremely demanding. The hardest part of the job was me being the only clerk – more... typist for 20 ex-military personnel. The most enjoyable part of the job was that I had secret clearance so I was exposed to classified material and learned valuable work skills. I typed many trip and expenditure reports for computer engineers. – less

Cant get materials needed to do job. They say items are ordered 3 months later i find out they're not.
Management are incompetent.
Some good workers, but the laziest ones are best thought of.
Listening to meetings where managers are so out of touch that they actually believe what they're saying.
Being left alone to get on with my work.

I had two separate contract opportunities to work at Eaton and enjoyed them both. I was not micro-managed by management and found the co-workers to be very personable.

Eaton - good company to work for. Excellent pay and benefits and basic good working conditions.

Large volume of cash application. I handled that as well as balancing/reconciling the cash receipts statement against the Treasury Departments actual cash received (to the penny every month). Quite a large and great challenge.

Raises were based on continued – more... education - which I was unable to do when working there. (I had an alzheimer mom living with me and could not attend school.) . I felt this unfair and that more consideration should be given to my work performance. Health insurance went up - but still reasonable - and raises were less - due to not attending college. – less

Limited career advancement opportunities if you do not have an engineering, technical background.

great colleagues, nice and friendly working environment.

For a first job out of college, this was a great place to work. Eaton provided extensive training, and management was wonderful about knowing exactly what they should expect from people fresh out of college. There are many opportunities for advancement in the company across and within function areas, and you make great industry connections.

I would recommend anyone to apply at this company. I liked working at Eaton. The reason why I left is because I was a contract employee and the contract ended.

Expanding with the facilities and the innovative ideas to grow even more.

-poor management
-no room for advancement
-not ethical
-favors management over employees
-small satellite plants = management that thinks they own the company
-no integrity
-clique environment

Great Company to work for. Promotes from within. Strong emphasis on ethics.

Eaton is a wonderful place to work. They are very good at promoting talent from within. Management cares about the real issues that occur, and are willing to dig down and work to resolve any issues that arise.

Working in a production assembly department which built switches for Caterpillar equipment using manual skills, pneumatic and hydraulic equipment, and test procedures.
We had classes in metrics, safety, soldering, and other job related
subjects.
Eaton promoted community service projects such as clean-up of roadways which brought people together.
Many – more... managerial positions are held by workers who have moved up the ladder, starting from the bottom, and know the department well.
Co-workers in my department worked well together and were efficient in getting work completed as a team.
I liked the job and can honestly say it wasn't difficult in any way.
I enjoyed the camaraderie of the employees, many of whom had been there for years. – less
