Pros

Some of my co-workers are incredible. They exhibit the integrity & values that G-P used to have as a culture. The pay is good, and the benefits are decent.

Cons

MBM Principles are used more as punishment then guidelines. Management is way too heavy at the top, and seems to talk more then act. Good performance is not consistently recognized or rewarded. Rank and file employees are not valued - they are taken for granted until they get fed up and resign. Investment in employees (career development & pathing, leadership development, investment in development) is lacking.

Good idea, bad practice

Pros

Steady work, always had a paycheck. Say the right thing to the right person and get promoted regardless of skill level. Hourly positions still pay and have good benefits. Good to have a job in this economy.

Cons

They have a good philosophy, but no one including the Kock brothers practice it. No one will give a straight answer for fear of being held accountable to it, compensation, benefits, promotional opportunities are a joke, no raise in three years, none on the horizon, no bonuses as promised, you can get better medical benefits on social security or state assistance. Pick and use any mbm principles they think will serve their immediate needs, disregard the rest. Talk safety and accountability, but haven't a clue what that means.
