Working at Eaton in Worcester, MA: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Worcester, MA Area

"This is an Electrical Sector division review. Be careful reading reviews because the work experience between the different divisions and subsets( and Eaton has a lot) varies greatly. Good benefits. Good coworkers. Upper management is a revolving door due to the Eaton management program that cycles teams through every 2-3 years so you end up repeating a lot of plans. Don't plan on much of a personal life if you aim to make it to upper management but the money is there. We need to invest in technology, specifically computer programs. A lot of time was spent on inefficient and outdated programs that did not have the multi-user capabilities and/or bandwidth to support the number of people that accessed the programs. After my time at Eaton, I spent time with another significantly smaller company ( 2 locations and 50 employees) and they had significantly better installation/ service flow chart management programs."

"Great. I learned a great deal about relationship selling."
