Pros

The 9-80 work weeks are great. Pay for the amount of work completion is a plus.

Cons

Management is extremely aloof to the needs of the plant. Safety is not a priority and needs to have a significant focus. Advancements are few and far between even when they are deserved. The work culture is tense with the union and salaried employees. It is also difficult to be assigned meaningful tasks. Management is not focused on the big picture but their own picture for their advancements. Behavior focus vs a balance with performance is a must. No one is held accountable for their assigned tasks. Which means nothing gets achieved for the site goals.

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
