Pros

None. Wichita has a nice downtown. If you actually value teamwork and a discussion of ideas, this is not the place for you.

Cons

The company supposedly follows MBM principles, but they are not applicable to senior and upper level management. Everyone is overly critical, constantly looking for flaws in fellow employees. If you do not act like everyone else, they look to weed you out and you will become a subject of managment discussions for separation. Senior management will yell and say anything to lower level employees, but you can not do the same. Everyone is walking around like they are in the George Orwell book, "1984". There is no such thing as enterprenuerialship there because everyone is afraid of losing thier jobs. The Kochs run the business for what it is, the only major employer in the area and they use it to control the employees and their movement within the other Koch entities.

Pros

Great pay, excellent opportunity to advance, and nice co-workers. Everyone treated me with respect and we all had fun together.

Cons

They fund the entire bat-shit crazy movement and you have to live with the consequences of being part of one of the largest polluters in the world.
