Pros

Benefits, Location in downtown Atlanta, Flexibility (with my manager)

Cons

No pay raises ever. Koch does not believe in annual increases and employees have had the same pay for 10 years or more.

Pros

They pay well for top credentials, experience and education. You will be indoctrinated to the corporate culture of Market-Based Management or MBM, which is extremely successful. If you have an interview, do yourself a favor and either read the book, "The Science of Success" by Charles Koch, or at a minimum, Google Market-Based Management and be familiar with the 10 guiding principles. You are given a fair amount of creative latitude to do your job. The company is very profitable and well funded and they value good ideas. Lastly, you will meet many hard working, very smart people.

Cons

Results are valued more than people. Many talented and smart people were forced to leave the company for reasons that never made sense to many. Develop a backup plan to working there because any day could be your last.

Pros

Safety Oriented, many overtime opportunities in the summer months. Most employees are there to work hard and maximize production which is a plus. Supervisors are very hands on and always paying attention.

Cons

Some of the upper management came up through the company doing every job along the way. This may sound like a good idea and often it is, but in this case its seems that tenured employees do not always make the best upper managers.
