Pros

Good pay and benefits. Opportunity to apply for other positions within Koch if your supervisor allows you to.

Cons

Koch's MBM culture is deeply rooted. Yes, they are profitable. However, I think Koch has difficulty realizing that MBM and profitability don't equate to being good at something. My perspective was the almighty dollar drove everything. Programs such as training and emergency response, which did not create profit, were kept on life support and never given adequate support to truly thrive. Leadership often gave lip service which resembled support, but few really seemed to care. The company has a lot going way to go. If you choose to work here I have two pieces of advice. (1) stay away from EHS. The leadership is weak and misguided on a good day. (2) Have an exit plan. I have seen employees let go even after recieving positive annual reviews. I hope this perspective adds value to those who read it.
