RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Eastman full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Super people who are always willing to help, wide variety of positions available at headquarters site without having to relocate, wide variety of equipment and processes to keep technical professionals interested for a whole career, new engineers have interesting work and responsibilities right away, beautiful locations, great community relations.
Cons
Advancement is relatively slow. This isn't the job for you, if you want to rocket up the ladder.
Advice to Management
Show more appreciation for operators; they work long hours in all weather to keep those chemical products coming.

Pros
This company really makes the employees feel important.
They have the highest focus on safety, diversity, ethics, and product quality of any company I’ve ever been a part of.
I can’t apeak for every dept here, or the hundreds of areas, but as for mine the management is as good as it gets. Working 12 hour shift work with the same people really brings you close to one another. To a point where your almost family.
Great company.... I plan to retire from here.Cons
As with a lot of companies our insurance benefits continuously get worse. The prices go up and the coverage go down. I don’t fault the company for this as much as the healthcare industry as a whole.
I still have insurance so I can’t complain.Advice to Management
Keep up the awesome work!
