      Pros

      I have been working with Eastman for over 20years in from entry level engineering to management. I have had opportunities to travel, learn and grow personally and professionally. The training and support given to the employees is superb. Throughout my career, I have given freedom and support to pick up the ball and run. Compensation is above average for the area. Eastman employees pride themselves on being ethical and hardworking.

      Cons

      Recent changes in benefits have the net effect of a pay cut. Senior leadership seems out of touch with the manufacturing employee and come across as egomaniacs. . We are a manufacturing company not a sales and marketing company but doesn't feel that way sometimes.

      Non unionised individual contributors and managers are disposable assets

      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.

      Pros

      My role is hybrid. The cafeteria in building 1 (the glass building) is great!

      Cons

      Toxic work culture. When you bring issues up to HR, nothing is done. Expect you to drop everything to answer a call after hours - I have missed anniversaries dinners and kids birthdays because of the demand.
