Pros

The best thing about Koch Business Solutions is that you can use the company to get into another company at Koch Industries.

Cons

Middle and upper management preach the traditional MBM tactics and culture, but do not practice it themselves. There is no clear direction for employees. My political views are much the same as the Koch Brothers, but I do not feel my employer should force them on me. When you ask and encourage employees on ways to make the company better, utilize the ideas, and also reward the employee for the idea.

Pros

All employees believe and are held to practicing the MBM guiding Principles. You are surrounded by individuals with similar work values. New ideas are encouraged and celebrated. You get real time feedback from peers/supervisors. Your compensation is based on the value you create for the company. I love that your hard work is recognized financially. You are not given the same salary as a sub-par performer. There are no egos. Leaders treat subordinates as their equal. There are no silos. departments communicate freely and help one other.

Cons

I really have not experienced any. Many reviews state that the work life balance is poor. I typically see most working 40-50 hours a week. We are adults. We work extra when we need to and leave on time when appropriate. When work life balance seems is off, I see them adding additional staff.

Pros

Big Company, opportunity for advancement is always available, a lot of networking capability

Cons

Extremely closed minded Management expects employees to live by the Guiding Principles (which by the way are nothing more than common sense) but management does not practice these NEARLY as much Favoritism is an EXTREMELY big issue here Micromanaged beyong any other employer out there. Political views are forced onto employees. Very Unethical Cult Like DO NOT GIVE ANY RAISES!! Their "philosophy" on compensation is very out of touch with the real world.
