Pros

1. Collaborative Environment is excellent. 2. People at Kingsport/regional sites are excellent.

Cons

1. If you are recruited to work at Eastman, be prepared to be used for the following information with little reward: a. Connections of a focus industry if you come from that industry. b. Manager not to be involved in your skill set development. c. Little Career Advancement because your manager will be a fellow Eastman colleague when you start. The manager will be promoted as a result of your experience/knowledge. d. Constantly yelled out by my manager who had little experience in the industry compared to myself. 2. Overall Benefits are terrible. Health benefits are not good and minimal salary increases are given. 3. Corporate Credit Card is really a personal credit card given by the company which the company reimburses for approved expenses.

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.
