Pros

There is still a dynamic work force at Eastman that are committed and talented. They represent the greatest aspects of what remains of this once wonderful company.

Cons

The company has become so top-heavy that there is no longer recognition for all of the extra hours, or multiple job roles being required to hold on to jobs. The cuts are taking place and unfortunately a lot of highly regarded and capable employees are looking for work elsewhere. Meanwhile, there seems to be a lack of commitment by upper management to trim their own fat.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
