Pros

Reason - The energy it started with has ignited lot of energy, aspiration and passion. The way it evolved backwards from the time it started 2018, I don't see any reason to work here any more.

Cons

No proper job responsibilities Majority of supervisory roles not required Incapable people leaders, who still behave immature and hold a position which is not fit No proper training program to unskilled people leaders Majority of supervisors don't have work and wasting time doing irrelevant things and poking around People who themselves need coaching are been assigned as Coach No job security All old people list trust and scared to speak up

Pros

Company as a whole seems very solid. Great Principles with a rich history that allows adults to be adults. Believing in the skills of those they've hired.

Cons

I am not going to go into detail about the department or position I was apart of. It's a very small piece of their business but makes a very big impact. So I'll keep it vague in that regard.... They're training was like being dropped off in a foreign forest with survival supplies and no instructions. Things were going well honestly until I was Let go by a director 6 weeks into training. Up to that point it was only going through Principle Based Management and shadowing opportunities. I was let go a week before thanksgiving 6 weeks into training, Feedback was I didn't ask enough questions and I missed an email from someone who sits two desks down from me but refused to engage in any personal conversation. Not a "Hey, I sent you an email, can you check it out?" Keep in mind I'm CC'd on 80 emails a day that don't apply to me because I am just shadowing at this point. Koch as a company seems like they have a good overall culture, BE AWARE of certain departments.... ESPECIALLY if they voice that it's been hard to find people or if they've had a lot of turn over. I went through 5 interviews... To be fired 6 weeks into training without the ability to demonstrate any skills and no type of negligence or going against policy is MINDBLOWING. Still shocked by it all, but honestly this is probably better. I didn't feel like I could be me in the position I was in. Everything was stiff necked and no personality at all. I'm sad at the fact that I was FIRED right before the holidays... First time I've ever been fired/let go...
