A very class oriented place to work. Would love to know how many positive reviews came from the blue collar workers. - Chemical Plant Operator Eastman Employee Review

Pros

My co-workers are some of the finest people I have worked with, including my time in the military. Many of them work hundreds of hours of overtime and strive to improve the processes and the work environment.

Cons

If you wear coveralls your opinion doesnt matter much. Much knowledge gained through years of experience is often ignored. Auto mechanics may not design your vehicle but they know how to keep it running. The same can be said for the operators. Yes, we are punching a clock, but we try to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

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.
