Pros

The company has a vision as well as diversification into many end markets. It is still a larger chemical/materials company unique for not being headquartered in, say, Houston. Longer-tenured employees consistently care, know a lot, and share knowledge. Jobs typically offer a lot of responsibility and opportunity for making an impact. The region is pretty.

Cons

Not much growth or innovation (apart from methanolysis perhaps) in the last decade. Hiring leaders from outside has diluted the identity and winning culture. Very short-term focused. Frequent staffing cuts and stingy reinvestment in operations . Teams do not have the budgets or resources to achieve at the highest level.

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
