Do Not Work for Eaton
about 4 months ago

As a long time employee, I can tell you that 6 to 15 years ago and even farther back, Eaton was a great place to work. Not now. About 5 years ago everything changed, mostly due to new management and new direction from HQ. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. The pay and benefits are good, but what kind of company is willing to hire someone from the outside for 50K but is not willing to promote and pay someone from the inside (with the same qualifications) for more than 41K for the same position. Or they talk quality but don't think performance testing is necessary. It is a customer and government requirement to do periodic testing but all of the technicians were laid off and all of the equipment was given to production or facilities in Mexico. So now all testing is so far behind (which is a breech of contract) catching up is a pipe dream. Quality product is a joke. Crap is sent out the back door on a daily basis. Management is so full of political hand jiving and kissing up, you don't know who to trust. Not to mention the top dog would just as soon chew your a** as look at you so that the work environment is pure torture. Or how everyone was made to take 4 weeks off without pay for the year so that there wouldn't be any layoffs but it happened anyway. People who were great loyal long standing employees who knew the company and product inside out were put out because management didn't "like" them and they used the economy as the excuse to get rid of them. And how they took our accrued vacation and told us that we had to use it by the end of the year or lose it. And when you put in for vacation it is turned down due to production needs. No rollover, no payout at the end of the year. Gone. The only thing this company has going for it is fair pay and benefits. If culture and life balance are important to you, walk away. This isn't the place you want to be. Also, VERY high stress environment. Be prepared.

They pay fair market value for the area.

Recent Layoff Tells/Reviews on Eaton

about 4 months ago

Eaton's Marshall, MI location used medical and race discrimination as a factor in laying off two employees. A white female was let go because she missed several days of work battling cancer. A black male was let go, because he missed several days of work as a result of a blood clot. He also told his reporting VP that he was experiencing race issues in Marshall. The VP had one of his managers call the guy at home while he was sick and fire him. The VP bragged about this to a friend. This is the sickest thing I have heard about any company. It's disappointing to know that Eaton operates like this.
