      Concerned with current trajectory of the company

      Pros

      Eastman is one of few large companies in the area, and while compensation package is no longer competitive like they used to be, you will have opportunities to move arouns the company and gain experience in different roles.

      Cons

      Total pay is based on length of service or experince and not really results or performance. Even with Eastman's "pay for performance" model, actual performance has minimal to no impact on salary. Total comp is no longer competitive with market and engineers are leaving for significant pay increases elsewhere. Company is laying off people at least every other year. Huge drive on effectiveness and increasing output with less staff supporting an aging (100+ yrs old) facility in Kingsport.

      Double standards

      Pros

      Good pay and decent benefits

      Cons

      Favoritism and double standards. It's all about who you know. Being a good employee doesn't necessarily get you anywhere but often gets you taken advantage of.

      Pros

      For this area, it's one of the only option if you're wanting to work at a large company and have flexibility to switch roles/jobs without switching company.

      Cons

      Employees are constantly asked to do more and more. Most employees felt like that's ok to be asked to be more efficient and work smarter, but there is no system in place to reward those that do outperform or perform well. Always asked to do better and soon as we don't, there are cuts and actions taken. If we do perform better and exceed expectation, no recognition other than "great job and here's next one that we need to do even better!" This is not sustainable...
