Blah. No real employee value proposition anymore

Pros

Most people tend to be friendly and helpful, but you never know when that helpfulness will come back to bite you in the form of negative feedback to your boss for not knowing how to do something.

Cons

There are a lot of downsides. Management more and more seems to think that continued employment and a paycheck every two weeks is the only benefit necessary. While this messaging may have been acceptable the past few years, the economy is much improved and employees are starting to walk out on these hardball tactics. The company culture is mostly an office space mentality where everyone does enough to get by because there is no incentive to do more. Promotions are very difficult to come by unless you are in the “in” crowd as Eastman is very political. Favoritism is rampant as well. Right now the environment at the company is not pro employee and very toxic. I would avoid it if you can.

Pros

Great people that work for the company and very collaborative environment.

Cons

Very structured management with more layers being added every day. The turnover is impacting every employee in that they are not backfilling positions and expecting current employees to bear the weight of up to three peoples’ job responsibilities. Even when the employee goes to management they just give the same response that it is temporary but three years later is still the same. The benefits are getting cut back to the point they are below the industry and they are still looking for more opportunities to reduce that spend regardless of how it impacts employee morale. Even though they promote work life balance there was not one vacation that was not interrupted by a phone call or email that could have waited until return to office.
