      Pros

      Various places to work both geographically and positions. More than just engineering jobs. An employer who participates in the local community and encourages employees as well (i.e. United Way). Big supporter of veterans, the environment, and volunteer programs! Talented executive staff.

      Cons

      Compensation is behind other companies starting rates. Takes a while to advance.

      Pros

      I have worked at Eastman for 23 years and the company has supported me and my husband in work/life balance decisions all through our careers. Eastman has a very generous interpretation of the family leave policy, allowing both me and my husband to take family leave time consecutively after the births of our children. Also, Eastman worked with me to adjust my work hours down to 25-30 hours for over 6 years while my children were young. We have both been able to work in challenging jobs that allow for advancement without requiring a lot of travel, since both the manufacturing and corporate headquarters are in Kingsport. Eastman also provides quite a lot of recreational opportunities for individuals and families (recreational club, hiking and outdoor club, photography, bridge, etc), and provides a lot of community support. Job stability is also very good. Compared to other chemical companies, Eastman has had very few layoffs in the last 10-15 years.

      Cons

      It is a reasonably large company, and consequently, sometimes the red tape and muliple layers of management approvals and HR policies can be frustrating, but overall I could not have picked a better place to spend my career.

      Pros

      Eastmans seems to be growing in a positive way, building off of the functional base. Having a Financial person in charge has been a definite plus.

      Cons

      Headquarters are in a remote location relative to access to large cities and things to do.
