      Pros

      Paycheck with benefits. Always work available. 60h max work.

      Cons

      Lots of games all over. The newest guy always gets the blame. Blame is a currency in this place. NO ONE LASTS HERE- 2x every year they keep changing Buyer and Manufacturing Supervisor. The plant floor looks like a car mechanic's mess.

      Thank you for taking time to provide feedback about our Toronto location. Koch companies have a presence in more than 60 countries worldwide, so we constantly depend on a respectful challenge process to help identify potential areas for improvement. All employees are encouraged to share concerns directly with their supervisors or HR leaders. Our Guideline resource is also available for those who prefer to communicate anonymously. Staying informed helps us to better evaluate each unique circumstance and ensure that our values are upheld everywhere we operate. We agree that hiring the right people, retaining them, and continuing to develop their skills and knowledge is essential for long-term success.

      Pros

      Cafeteria, Salary, Employment, Clean Bathrooms

      Cons

      Everything else. Such a soul-sucking environment. Do it just to see if it's as bad as they say. I didn't believe. I do now.

      Pros

      Pay is better than average for Kansas; Some very nice co-workers; Cafe food is great; Good volunteer opportunities. MBM principles are a fantastic concept. Charles Koch is one of the nicest and most humble people I've ever talked with!

      Cons

      Fired me for taking off work for my children being abducted. Not kidding! They teach awesome MBM, yet in my department, nobody was allowed to use it! Discouraged from talking to your neighbor even when you're new. Encouraged to only use the computer to answer any questions. Discouraged from contacting or talking to other management about anything. In my department, decision rights were not allowed. You are to know your "station" and keep your conversation to only the people who are within it.

      Out of respect for our employees, we do not publicly discuss details of why former team members are no longer here. We do our best to practice what we preach. That’s a necessity for staying in business over the long term. If you felt that knowledge sharing was not encouraged on your team, we hope you took the opportunity to voice your concerns in one of the many avenues we provide employees (e.g., supervisor, HR, anonymous employee Guideline, etc.), as we rely on honest feedback across our businesses to ensure that Market-Based Management is applied as intended.
