Pros

Eastman treats its employees wonderfully, and because of its location in NE Tennessee, salaries go further than they would elsewhere. Opportunities to move around Eastman (either in other job roles or other countries) present themselves often to those who are looking. One has to try if they want to stay stagnant at the same job for years. Safety is definitely number 1 at Eastman. It is rare that an employee gets seriously injured (besides the too often slip and fall accident from not watching where you are walking)

Cons

The only con I can think of is the location. The tricities doesn't have much by way of entertainment unless you want to get outdoors. But if you are looking for a city atmosphere, you are out of luck.

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.
