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!

Eastman invests a lot into their employees. They want you to make a career out there.
Cons
You will be on shiftwork for your entire career. That can be a pro, but some people have a hard time adjusting.
Advice to Management
Keep focusing on your employees. You've got a good company.

Pros
Great company culture and values that recognizes the importance of safety, wellness, inclusion, and employee collaboration. Strategic direction greatly improved in recent years with strong momentum in many areas. Diverse opportunities for career development in both technical and business roles.
Cons
Company culture and behaviors still tend to be headquarter centric, although recent changes in organization and structure and expansion through acquisition have greatly helped vs. 5-10 years ago.
Advice to Management
Past few years have been a tough balance of cost management while moving faster toward a true specialty company. Help leaders at all levels understand that cost management is not a strategy by itself and to continue growing the company it takes leaders making thoughtful investments in both people and resources to improve growth and capability.
