Pros

East Tennessee is a beautiful part of the country with some of the best people in the world. I love the rolling hills and rivers and lakes and outdoors in this area.

Cons

Second round of cutbacks demoralize an already over worked group. I don't feel confident that I'll have a job in the future and this brings out unnecessary stress and frustration.

Pros

Great training programs but not everyone is allowed to have training to improve a skill set. Gives back to the community.

Cons

Management team in NA with direct reports consists of males in authority making all decisions. It appears this is done on purpose and there are 10 managers in Logistics with reports and all are male. Somehow woman aren't qualified to supervise teams anymore. Management tends to focus on how to make themselves look good and will make decisions without knowing how it will impact their employees or the company. No respect to anyone but expect more out of planners. But there is no reward offered to them for going the extra mile. Management just adds more to each planner and is ok if planners work 12-14 hrs per day.

Pros

It's a job and pays the bills. However the pros have become overshadowed by the cons.

Cons

The benifits along with treatment and appreciation of employees took a drastic decline when purchased by Eastman. We don't have the on site fitness center or medical staff that Kingsport enjoys. Instead we lost our fitness reimbursement and insurance went to crap! Management treats employees as if they are stupid and refuse to take advice from seasoned employees when making decisions on the jobs that we run daily. Expressing concerns will cause retaliation from above. Supervision could care less about the health, well being and general happiness of employees. We are expected to work horrible shift rotations and motivation to sacrifice our off time to help the company is nonexistent. Getting a answer from human resources is impossible and emails never get a response. Our plant once offered the best benefits and pay in our area but now Walmart appears to be a better place to work!
