Thank you for leaving feedback and I’m glad to hear you think Koch is a great company. I agree! You mention automation and I have to say we are excited for what automation has to offer our employees and the company. Automation in the workspace is transforming the way we get work done by freeing up individuals who had previously been constrained with repetitive work tasks and allowing them to concentrate on higher value, more fulfilling work. Our employees are able to get things done faster than ever before, activities that took days now take minutes. We can’t wait to see what the future of automation holds at the Service Desk and throughout all of Koch. We see your experience was personally not as fulfilling as you had hoped and we appreciate you sharing. Over a third of our Service Desk Specialists move on to new roles within the company each year and it is an expectation for our leaders to take a strong interest in the career development of each employee. Developing our employees is just one way we contribute to the lasting success of our company. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts as every experience helps us get better! Gabe Mains, Service Desk Manager

Pros

-The company's guiding principles makes this company one of the most enjoyable places to work in. -People are friendly, respectful, and have the integrity to do the right thing. -Places the important things high on the priority list (safety, environmental rules/regulations, compliance of law) -You can potentially make more money than your boss (based on your value creation). I've seen it happen. -You can respectfully challenge any boss based on company opportunities and business ideas. (Don't expect anything though).

Cons

-Nothing is guaranteed (your job/salary/etc). (Can be good or bad) The company operates on "Market Based Management" which things like tenure or seniority does not apply.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I am glad to see you have seen Market Based Management in action and are enjoying the culture. The people and the basic principles of doing the right thing, treating others with respect and expecting employees to bring ideas and challenges to the table are among my favorite parts of being a Koch employee. You keep up the good work as well and thank you for being a part of our journey!! HR Manager Katie Schuckman
