Pros

If you can get a job at one of the other KOCH companies things get better, good. Overall KOCH is a good place to work, KBS is not the place to be.

Cons

Its a shared service group that claims that it wants to be top notch, but in the end all they care about is getting by on the cheap and the backs of the workers. Command and control, do as your told, don't think out loud, tow the company line. If the sky is blue, you better say its green if thats what the boss says or your out. They preach their 10 principles, but no one in leadership roles follow them. Its basically all about keeping costs down and making sure the top leaders get the bonuses. Leaders claim they follow the 10 principles, but don't, you practice the do as I say or else mgmt model. They claim to want to follow the law (written or its intent), rules but only when it keeps doesn't impact their bonus.

Pros

I am offered the ability to work from home one day a week. My coworkers and I have a good working relationship. Management is flexible with request for time off. Personal growth opportunities are available if you go after it.

Cons

There are no merit increases, no bonuses. There is little to no recognition of a job well done. The workload keeps growing as team members leave the company with no relief in sight.
