Culture - they don't practice what they preach Micromanagement (even by people who aren't your manager) No Pay raises - subjective bonuses No work life balance - always getting called when you are on vacation/ sick Says that the team is a "family" and gets upset when you won't share your personal life Director shows favoritism towards employees No room for advancement in Houston office, you have to be in Corporate to be able to move anywhere

Pros

financially stable and promotes from within

Cons

I've never seen a company work so hard to force its people to buy into a cult-like culture with its own buzzwords. Time and time again they show that they care little about their people and expect everyone to run lean and regurgitate the cliched phrases that came from leadership. They are tone deaf and self-obsessed with the Koch family but don't realize how far behind the times they are about building a supportive culture.

Racist Employer

Pros

Pros are I went in with a ton of vacation from prior company before Koch bought them out.

Cons

Koch is a Racist male oriented company. If you are a woman but specifically an African American woman you will see everyone around you grow, get praised, get their raises and higher roles but they will sell you these dreams of you advancing and it never happens to always keep themselves ahead of you and you in 3 years where you started with a dollar more in pay, when you’re just as smart as them. The only way for an African American to succeed within Koch is to be apart of the cliques or be Buddy Buddy with Leadership after work going out to drink and to the bars, casinos, etc. Nothing is a secret not even going to speak with HR and your Manager behind closed doors because the time you get back to your desk the conversation has made it to your colleagues.
