Koch reviews

Limited ability to move up in the company.

Benefits leave a LOT of be desired, management has a "do as I say, not as a do" mentality. There is a lot of favoritism given to those who have been there for a long time. I have witnessed management have temper tantrums and behave very unprofessionally with no repercussions but when coworkers speak their mind or provide feedback they are penalized. I read and heard many negative things before joining the organization and didn't realize until at least six months in that my original perception was due to smoke and mirrors. I heard from individuals when I started that you must be one of the "chosen" ones in order to be successful in the organization and at the time I thought they were just disgruntled but have seen for myself over time that this is a true statement. The Company promotes career growth but I have seen others try to transfer to other departments and get shot down because there is too much of a revolving door in my department. It can be very cult-like. If you are willing to become a robot and "drink the Kool-Aid" then this is the place for you. If you are independent and do not like being micro-managed keep moving... There are no merit or annual increases. When a coworker inquired about an increase they were told that the Company only hires the best of the best so unless you do something that is better than perfect you will not see any increase or bonus.
