Pros

One of the best companies to work for in this area. There are very few choices though when it comes to manufacturing. This is why Eastman can do the things they have been doing. There is no competition.

Cons

Very poor employee satisfaction below the management level.Have had very good performance the last few years but have constantly cut benefits and given only minor cost of living raises.Cut retiree benefits to the very people that have made the company what it is today. Upper management has enjoyed large bonuses and pay increases While the majority of the company has suffered. George Eastman would be disappointed at what his company has become.Have worked for them for 43 years. If only the company treated the employees as it did in the first few years I worked there.

Thanks for your review. And thanks for your 43 years of service! That's incredible! Yes, we have made changes to our benefits package, and we've done that in order to stay competitive in our ever changing global environment. Even with some of the benefits changes we've made recently, we're still very proud of the fact that we are able to offer competitive benefits, and compare favorably with other companies in our industry.

Pros

Good pay, schedule is both pro and con, 7 consecutive days off a month was great, good retirement program with 401k match. Getting on at Eastman can truly feel like a long term career that you can retire from.

Cons

schedule can be crazy flipping days and nights. Sometimes too much red tape with stuff
