Pros

Decent wage, great coworkers, job independence

Cons

This company does not care about their employees well being or work life balance. Mostly members of what we referred to as “the boys club” get promoted, even if they aren’t qualified. You can go 5+years with no raise, even if you work your butt off. I was fortunate to get a raise every year but most are not. I had members of management call me obscenities with no consequences. That is completely inappropriate. Managers would leave at 4pm to go golf while their employees stayed until 7pm working their tail off. Those were male managers, of course. I did not feel that women were treated equally at this company.

Pros

I worked at Koch industries for 5 years. They have a well embedded MBM principle that they try to follow. International in nature and transfers people in between companies (for high level management employees largely)

Cons

Lacks Integrity. Management leaders don't follow MBM (just teach) specially in adverse times Not employee friendly. Lacks empathy towards employees. Lots of cases of unethical dismissal. Termination of pregnant women, sick employees is common

Thanks for your feedback. We compensate and reward team members based on the value they create. This system provides greater incentive and bonus opportunities for all employees, without having to wait for seniority. If you feel that you are not being compensated accordingly, we encourage you to talk with your supervisor or HR representative to learn the reason why and have a candid conversation about your role, responsibilities, and expectations.
