Pros
Collaborative work environment. I feel like everyone (mid level management and below) generally care for their coworkers.
Cons
The downward trend of Eastman continues. CEO Mark Costa gets a 25% raise yet we are headed towards a second round of cuts and lay offs this year alone. When the stock holders say "jump", Eastman management now says "how far?" The company spends a ridiculously low amount of money on R&D to be claiming they are a top "innovator" in the chemical space. Its all smoke and mirrors. To be a top performing specialty chemical company, the salaries of engineers and scientists sure don't reflect it. Whats going to happen is a mass exodus of young talent that has been acquired because of the moral, budget cuts and weak compensation packages. So many cuts have been made that very shortly investors are going to see a drop in safety performance and quality of our products.
