Eastman reviews

For people like myself that like challenges, change and opportunities Eastman is a great place to work. The one thing that remains constant is change. The values on ethical behavior, transparency and sustainabiltity defined as planet, people and profit make it a company of choice for me.

I have worked at Eastman for 23 years and the company has supported me and my husband in work/life balance decisions all through our careers. Eastman has a very generous interpretation of the family leave policy, allowing both me and my husband to take family leave time consecutively after the births of our children. Also, Eastman worked with me to adjust my work hours down to 25-30 hours for over 6 years while my children were young. We have both been able to work in challenging jobs that allow for advancement without requiring a lot of travel, since both the manufacturing and corporate headquarters are in Kingsport. Eastman also provides quite a lot of recreational opportunities for individuals and families (recreational club, hiking and outdoor club, photography, bridge, etc), and provides a lot of community support. Job stability is also very good. Compared to other chemical companies, Eastman has had very few layoffs in the last 10-15 years.
