      Pros

      Work really hard; stay late - learn a lot about commodities

      Cons

      lots of layoffs for last several years at multiple Koch companies; they do not practice what they preach in regards to MBM. Charles Koch (everyone's benevolent leader) gives a lot of lip service on MBM but it is rarely followed. You have to fight in order to get a raise. Christmas bonus??? forget about it!!!! there is no such thing as a bonus at Koch industries unless it is written into your contract...even then, they will whittle you down as far as they can... do yourself a favor and do NOT work at this company. You can literally hear the 'white noise' they pump into the building sucking the life out of you...

      At Koch, we strive to compensate employees in a way that is competitive and reflects the value that each individual creates. Beyond base compensation, incentive pay is also available for employees who create additional value. Rather than apply a standard formula to all, we seek to reward each individual for their unique contributions. We encourage all team members to speak directly with their supervisors or HR leaders to identify possible opportunities for earning greater rewards.

      Pros

      You get a pay check.

      Cons

      If you are liked by management you have chance. If you are a great worker and not in good with management you will be held back and stuck. Annual raises are not given automatically you have the annual review then they decide to review for a raise of which if you get will take 3-6 months to show on your check and is not, repeat not retro so you only make that amount on paper. Invest in a leadership team who values hardworking individuals and leave clicks behind! If I could rate a zero I would! Don't waste your time unless you know upper management very well and are already someone they like. Don't go to HR with a problem it is not kept confidential at all. I read some negative reviews before i took the job and didn't believe it could be that bad. Believe it I know firsthand it is.

      Thanks for your feedback - we’re sorry you feel this way. We do encourage employees to share their ideas and concerns openly (or anonymously through our Guideline) to help hold one another accountable, so we hope you shared these thoughts with HR or your supervisor.

      Pros

      Fast paced environment where situations can change daily. Challenge culture where people are expected to speak up if they have the best knowledge.

      Cons

      It can be difficult to understand what the formula is to warrant a pay raise.
