Boss Gave People PTSD - Anonymous employee Eastman Kodak Employee Review

Kodak feels like a team. Very little corporate backstabbing BS. Great work life balance. The people care about each other and want you to succeed in your work. No one is trying to put you down. So overall, good work environment. Also, there is a gym so you can workout and shower before or after work. There is also a 12% company funded retirment cash value account for salaried employees and 13% for hourly employees. Typical PTO structure for hourly employees and unlimited PTO for salaried employees, 11 holidays, and decent benefits. Also, for the first time in over a decade, Kodak's balance sheet is coming back into balance. They are investing heavily into other parts of the business to make them profitable but the Film department is still carrying the entire company with solid numbers. The chemicals department shows some real promise for future growth as well.

The CEO can come across as a bit stuck up, but it is made up for in fantastic middle level management and quality department heads. Also, 60% of the employees are within 5 years from retiring so one of two things is about to happen, either it is an opportunity for rapid advancement for the younger and newer employees as management turns over quickly, or the company will implode through the brain drain of having skilled operators turn over faster than they are able to pass along their critical experience to the next generation. I am rooting for the former.
