Pros

Really good people work for Eastman - people who care about the company's success and have made great sacrifices to make Eastman successful.

Cons

Senior management continues to make poor decisions on the future of the company. They seem to believe that long-range planning is to the end of the week. The latest is the $100 million reduction that will focus on labor - details to follow. Amazing. We just received a 2% raise and they have hired approximately 400 people since the Jan 1. We used to be told that the employees are the company's greatest asset. Ha! No more.

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.
