Pros

Great people, a lot of things to work on, good benefits

Cons

economic challenges and pressures to do more with less. It's not specific to Eastman and they're trying to find ways to cope but it leaves open the door for a lot of burn out across the company.

The company is dying

Pros

Good knowledgeable co workers with a impressive work ethic

Cons

Upper management is killing the company. The company has lost its work life balance. Operations is short staffed with no relief. We have seen employees work 50 days straight without a day off. Vacation is often denied due to lack of man power.

Pros

Pay, benefits. Tennessee community. Friendships.

Cons

Constant talking down of performance. Employees just being fired and disappearing without any acknowledgement apart from the rumour train. Terrible for morale. Constant cost cutting even when making money. Focus on share price alone and not long term outlook. Refusal to hold CEO to account and pushing sacrifice on the lower people. Fear of speaking out. Senior management are YES people as they fear repercussions. Micro management from a high level. Focus on quantitative performance over qualatitive. Bi annual change in strategy based on which consultantcy firm is contracted at the time.
