The good reviews are lies.

Pros

The team I worked with was my family until management started running them off and replacing them with younger employees that really don't know anything. You were expected to train them and they end up taking your job. Oops this was supposed to be a pro.

Cons

So many of the reviews have hit the nail on the head. Layoffs are Eastman's answer to cutting costs. Heaven forbid the executive team cut their inflated salaries and travel expenses!! People used to be proud to work for Eastman. Now all anyone wants to do is leave. The school system is the only thing keeping me in the area anymore. I would rather work 2 full-time jobs shoveling manure than go back to Eastman. Treats employees worse than garbage.

Pros

Great experience if you are looking for something corporate.

Cons

No career movement allowed for two years, supervisors play favorites and target the ones they don't like. They will also do massive layoffs at least every couple of years. Their motivation for who to lay off changes as well so you never feel secure.
