Pros
Have been at Eastman for a long time and can say that if you are adaptable, enjoy challenges and are willing to shape your own role, this is the place to be. The Eastman I work for today has evolved over the years to keep up with a changing environment and demographics, and I like what I see and am proud of contributing to this constant change.
Cons
I do not have any to share.
Advice to Management
Maintain the excitement!

Pros
Strong safety and environmental commitment. Nice places to live. Great co-workers.
Cons
Manufacturing can only cost cut for so many years before being forced to take unacceptable risks. Safety comes first but how do you compare growth versus critical reliability projects?
Advice to Management
Make sure your rank and file employees feel respected and appreciated.
