      Pros

      Pay is better than average for Kansas; Some very nice co-workers; Cafe food is great; Good volunteer opportunities. MBM principles are a fantastic concept. Charles Koch is one of the nicest and most humble people I've ever talked with!

      Cons

      Fired me for taking off work for my children being abducted. Not kidding! They teach awesome MBM, yet in my department, nobody was allowed to use it! Discouraged from talking to your neighbor even when you're new. Encouraged to only use the computer to answer any questions. Discouraged from contacting or talking to other management about anything. In my department, decision rights were not allowed. You are to know your "station" and keep your conversation to only the people who are within it.

      Out of respect for our employees, we do not publicly discuss details of why former team members are no longer here. We do our best to practice what we preach. That’s a necessity for staying in business over the long term. If you felt that knowledge sharing was not encouraged on your team, we hope you took the opportunity to voice your concerns in one of the many avenues we provide employees (e.g., supervisor, HR, anonymous employee Guideline, etc.), as we rely on honest feedback across our businesses to ensure that Market-Based Management is applied as intended.

      Pros

      Such a great atmosphere. The company focuses on adding the most mutual benefit for all parties. Helps you grow, and create meaningful relationships.

      Cons

      N/A This company is amazing but it is challenging. You will be stretched.

      Pros

      Good insurance. The Atlanta office was more flexible with remote/hybrid work

      Cons

      The politics. People devalue teammates. Constantly changing direction so no meaningful impact can be made. Not a lot of diversity. If you don’t ask how someone’s kids are, you get complaints that you’re cold and difficult. Got there and a reorg killed the reason I was hired and was never provided with any sort of hope of growth opportunities.
