Pros

Salary. Company follows the KOCH values. They are culture driven, formerly Georgia Pacific. Parent company to several companies.

Cons

Senior management needs to listen to people at lower level. Everyone seems unhappy.They place strong emphasis on results and forget about caring for their employees.

Pros

The pay, at least for my position, is definitely fair. Management is taking steps to improve knowledge sharing and encourages ideas from anyone. There are some very intelligent, helpful individuals here who respect others contributions.

Cons

High turnover rates. Seems difficult to gain professional development and the culture is a joke. There are also some real jerks. I wouldn't accept this job again.

The absolute worst working experience of my life!

Pros

There are no pros working for this company.

Cons

The company inundates employees with compliance training and MBM training (culture). Basically, if you do not comply with the brainwashing to think and act exactly as they want you to, then you're not a fit for their culture. People with ideas, a backbone, intelligence, and common sense will not fit in with the culture. Thinking differently is not allowed. If you disagree with anyone or stand up for yourself, you're let go. The company pushes their political agenda on employees and want employees to donate a portion of their salary for political campaign contributions. Health benefits offered are horrible. The employee pays for the majority of the premium and the company does not pay any towards life insurance, AD&D, or disability. The company only offers a small 401(k) match after being there for a year. There are no incentives or perks like relaxed dress on Fridays - jeans are strictly prohibited. They do not offer telecommuting - you cannot work from home. The company is not fun and does very little in motivating its employees. KBS doesn't care if employees are happy - they are only focused on working and compliance. The turnover rate is really high - the company should be embarrassed.
