Pros

Used to be some good folks there

Cons

Huge list of cons - management is extremely poor (hence the yearly layoffs), poor (and worsening) culture, horrible micromanagement, increasingly questionable ethics, and on and on.

Pros

Eastman is one of few large companies in the area, and while compensation package is no longer competitive like they used to be, you will have opportunities to move arouns the company and gain experience in different roles.

Cons

Total pay is based on length of service or experince and not really results or performance. Even with Eastman's "pay for performance" model, actual performance has minimal to no impact on salary. Total comp is no longer competitive with market and engineers are leaving for significant pay increases elsewhere. Company is laying off people at least every other year. Huge drive on effectiveness and increasing output with less staff supporting an aging (100+ yrs old) facility in Kingsport.

Double standards

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits

Cons

Favoritism and double standards. It's all about who you know. Being a good employee doesn't necessarily get you anywhere but often gets you taken advantage of.
