Pros

People close to Retieing looking forward to good benefits have been duped. No life or health insurance is offered now. 30 years and 1250.00 retirement and whatever I have put in my unmatched 401k. Older employees are being forced to work to 65 and Eastman does not care.

Cons

No union in the plant to represent workers against the corporate greed that is running rampant now.

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.
