Pros

Good Culture - Market based management is a powerful tool for people who actually believe it

Pay needs to be more transparent and more competitive. It was hard to know what exactly everyone was making

Koch Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We aren’t perfect, but as a company we are continually learning and are glad you saw the impact of our market based management culture at Koch. I am disappointed that you didn’t feel like you had a good understanding of our compensation philosophy. Our compensation philosophy is no secret and employees, as well as external parties can read in detail about our philosophy in Chapter 10 of Good Profit (Charles Koch’s book). As an organization, we have a pay for performance compensation philosophy that aims to pay individual employees competitively based on the value they create for the organization. Your feedback is appreciated and we continue to look for ways to better assimilate employees to our compensation philosophy in our onboarding program, through training, and continued conversations with their supervisor/leaders. -Justin Huschka, Talent Acquisition Manager

Pros

One of the best companies I've had the pleasure of working for. Quite a few pros to be had here: Competitive pay compared to everything (except the oilfield in full swing) Great benefits Very family orientated. I've had more than one issue arise and so have many coworkers and everyone really comes together to help them out Very team orientated. They make sure that once your in the fold, they do their best to help you rise to the occasion. Willing to recognize hard work and talent. It's not always immediate, but when they notice, your career takes off.

Cons

Swing shift-constantly rotating days and night gets frustrating for everyone. Wish they had a solid schedule or rotate less. Safety- I understand that it's out of they're hands and they're trying to make sure everyone gets home safely, but they sometimes take it to far.

Pros

Team building, learn new software's, flex schedule, concerns are heard, good management on lower levels. I had a great supervisor. Good people overall!

Cons

Upper management is not current on latest software advances and is detached from the every day employees. Any changes that are to take place are often slow to get done. You are told to "run your business" but it's constantly run by management.
