Do more with less and you dont get any more.

Pros

For this area, it's one of the only option if you're wanting to work at a large company and have flexibility to switch roles/jobs without switching company.

Cons

Employees are constantly asked to do more and more. Most employees felt like that's ok to be asked to be more efficient and work smarter, but there is no system in place to reward those that do outperform or perform well. Always asked to do better and soon as we don't, there are cuts and actions taken. If we do perform better and exceed expectation, no recognition other than "great job and here's next one that we need to do even better!" This is not sustainable...

Blah. No real employee value proposition anymore

Pros

Most people tend to be friendly and helpful, but you never know when that helpfulness will come back to bite you in the form of negative feedback to your boss for not knowing how to do something.

Cons

There are a lot of downsides. Management more and more seems to think that continued employment and a paycheck every two weeks is the only benefit necessary. While this messaging may have been acceptable the past few years, the economy is much improved and employees are starting to walk out on these hardball tactics. The company culture is mostly an office space mentality where everyone does enough to get by because there is no incentive to do more. Promotions are very difficult to come by unless you are in the “in” crowd as Eastman is very political. Favoritism is rampant as well. Right now the environment at the company is not pro employee and very toxic. I would avoid it if you can.
