Pros

Challenging work environment with a commitment to growth in individuals and the business. Have achieved year over year increase in earning for past 3 years and working toward this for 2013. Employees are rewarded for meeting and exceeding annual goals. Safety at work is a priority for all employees and this mindset spills over to our lives outside of the work environment. Short, easy commutes to work with little traffic.

Cons

Small regional airport and rural communities -- personally I like this but those who are looking for a metropolitan area would see this as a Con. Shopping in the Tri-Cities area will not offer the variety available in a larger or metropolitan area.

Pros

Eastman cares about its employees & the local community. Upper management very approachable. Will not hire folks strictly on the basis of their expertise, they must also have people skills. If someone is put into a position of managing people and they aren't good at it, they will move them out of that position & find something more suitable for them. Team members are heard and don't have to endure supervisors who are not good managers of people. If an effort is shelved, they try really hard to find positions for folks that are displaced.

Cons

Movements within the company seem to be kept secret even from the folks moving into new positions, sometimes until a few minutes before it is announced which seems rather odd to me.

Pros

Throughout a career, one will progress by gaining more and more responsibility and opportunity to show success and work with talented individuals. The people employed come from many backgrounds, but in general have integrity and dedication for their work.

Cons

There are not many cons for a career at Eastman Chemical Company, but some may include the size of the company and the globalization of the different business units.
