Pros

Stock price has gone up by a factor of 7 since 2009. Dividends have increased almost 20% in the last 2 years.

Cons

Raises for non-managerial employees are meager. Benefits (health care, retirement/pension) are eroding or gone. Culture is trying to change from one of cooperation to one where there is competition between employees. Management claims that employees are their greatest resource, but their actions are contrary.

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
