Pros

None and that is sad. But years ago there were many.

Cons

I’m not a disgruntled former employee. I was an employee in the good days the Crown Zellerbach James River days I invested well so am comfortable. Although not near as the Koch Brothers lol. So being unhappy is not the reason for my negative post. I cared about this mill. In our small community the mill is important to us. I don’t like to see bullies like the Koch’s treating people like they do. But they sure preach the guiding principles too bad they didn’t follow them. I had to retire after 30plus years due to 3 failed back surgeries. I didn’t get a call card or a boo boo from management. My job created my bad back but due to being treated like a criminal when injured on the job I didn’t claim it as a work injury. Koch’s cut our pay,retirement,jobs and more. Do people worth over 50 billion each really need to take from us workers? Our mill always made money so why treat us like this? Well it shows now cause they are shutting down machine because they don’t have enough workers. It used to be a lifetime job hard to get a job there. Now nobody want to work there. They have stooped to hiring temp workers.its hard to get anyone to stay past the 90 day break in period. What a shame.

Pros

Experience with multiple different systems and great customers. The company services several domestic and foreign companies. The culture represents respect from all employees.

Cons

Company is down sizing and considering outsourcing much of its work. The company focus has gone largely to meet the bottom dollar.

Thank you for your feedback! We agree, we work with great customers and we also appreciate your comment on a respectful work environment, that is something we are very proud of. An environment where everyone challenges the status quo and innovates, but does it in a respectful manner. The vision at Koch has remained consistent, to create value for society and to do so utilizing resources most efficiently. We apply our MBM business philosophy to innovate, improve, and transform ourselves to create greater value for our customers and greater fulfillment for employees. As our Chairman & CEO recently stated, with the rapidly changing nature of business through technology advancement, “virtually everyone’s role will change.” As a part of this change we have to ensure employees fully embrace emerging technology and practice all of our guiding principles, especially change, principled entrepreneurship, and value creation.
