Eastman Reviews

Pros

Growth opportunity Excellent pay Decent benefits

Cons

Disconnect between Executive level and operations Constant changing of safety procedures with brief training Hesitant to invest in aging equipment upgrades

Pros

Great people, good location (if you like mountains and smaller communities)

Cons

Company no longer sees employees as the most valuable asset and we are entering the fourth round of layoffs in 6 years. This has become the current CEO's go to method for "costs" reductions. There have also been multiple process safety events since 2017 including two significant events in 2022. The blame then gets pushed down to 1st and 2nd supervisors rather than senior leaders taking responsibility for denying capital requests and under investing in safety and infrastructure projects in order to make balance sheets look better.

Pros

Good benefits Some management care You can move around if you're liked Really try to be more progressive/diverse

Cons

Really clique-y Don't ways have the tools you need Tech Staff engineers are overloaded Not where they should be with I&D in 2023 Not a lot of career options/choices

Pros

Competitive pay is very good

Cons

Maybe too much OT at times

Pros

Pay and benefits are competitive, even excellent in some cases. Some of the work, goals, and teams are interesting and engaging.

Cons

The pace and load of work has become excruciating. Management has become demanding with little to no consideration or compassion for the emotional well-being of their employees. Rushing to the next emergency effort to keep the dividends up has replaced thoughtful, well-planned, courageous team-centered leadership. Punishment and fear have replaced forward-thinking, employee-promoting, coaching and development. You are solely responsible for your mental, professional, and project health. This means that if you succeed, you race to the next project. If you fail, you will be "held accountable". This attitude is now pervasive within operations and technical support areas and is toxifying the teamwork that has made this company great in the increasingly distant past. Their company face is slick-marketed, but experienced, dedicated, caring people are being driven from the company at a sickening pace, leaving the operating and engineering core fragile at best.

Pros

A pay check and benefits. Performance expectations are very low.

Cons

It’s cultish. People talk about how great it is, but those same people would go to another company at the drop of a hat, if one was here. Loyalty is gone. Our CEO killed it. Most long timers are in it, until they can retire. Communication is poor. Facilities are becoming more and more rundown. Focus is on Wall Street and earnings, not on the people that make it happen.

Pros

Good pay Avg benefits A lot of good people

Cons

They give contracts to horrible companys which screws us over. Pay isnt keeping up with inflation or min wage increases. Keep creating jobs for people to collect a paycheck.

Pros

Good long term business outlook. Good pay and relatively good benefits.

Cons

Constant change is difficult to manage and still perform core tasks.

Pros

Very good money with no experience needed to start.

Cons

Overtime is not optional, and lot of it. No home life, and people are horrible on shift work.

Pros

Overall decent place to work

Cons

Lack of flexibility for rotating shifts
