Eastman reviews

Management constantly wants you to do more with less. You have to cut staff every year and then get beat on if you don't meet your quality or safety goals. The cost cutting has been going on so long now it is like getting blood out of a turnip. Tremendous pressure to deliver with little support from Div. level or VP level management. One bad year and you're out.

Upper management had a stated goal of changing the culture to make it more inclusive, diverse and high performing. But that was never communicated effectively to the rank-and-file. As a result, anytime someone challenges the status quo, or an experienced hire is onboarded with actual insights from outside the company, the system rejects him or her. The current culture is often classified in other reviews (and internally) as 'nice'. This is generally code for 'super passive aggressive.' If you are upfront, direct or honest as your style, you will have an *extremely hard time* being effective or accepted. Also, if you're a person of color or not the mainstream religion for the area, think really hard about moving to the area. It will be tough. You will see confederate flags on your coworkers' cars, and you will hear disparaging remarks that are ignored (or sometimes uttered) by management.
