Pros

Competitive pay, large company with a lot of diverse opportunities, well funded by their Koch owners, great values the owner wants everyone in the company to embrace and work by.

Cons

The compensation philosophy is poorly understood by managers and employees. Site operations are exclusively driven by corporate resources without regard to what the site needs are. Very difficult to achieve healthy work life balance. Too much time is spent working on corporate driven priorities which do nothing to move the business forward at the end of the day.

Pros

Schedule, flexibility, pay, co- workers, relationships

Cons

No COLA, annual reviews pushed back, comp reviews consistently pushed back even further. Non value added meetings & ‘fluff’ with Koch book reading requirements (which directly conflict in the respect philosophy when it comes to comp reviews), no consistency in business units- ie. Moving from one to another group a vast difference in how they treat/respect employees
