Eastman is a great place to work. However, if you are in the sales environment, promotions and raises do not come easy. - Anonymous employee Eastman Employee Review

Pros

Great people, great benefits, great understanding of work and life balance, believes in the "family message", variable compensation bonus plan,

Cons

average or slightly lower pay, you must be "in the club" for promotions-not always performance based. Frequent restructing within leadership team. A little rigid in their old ways of doing things and sometimes too worried about "the numbers" as most publicaly traded companies are. Unfortantely, that sometimes sacrafices business relationships and may hurt overall growth in the long run.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
