Does not take care of employees

Pros

You can get any where in Wichita in 20 minutes. You can eat on site from two different in house restaurants. You have a tunnel from your uncovered parking into the building to avoid too much of the elements. They spend Monét on ergonomic features. As corporate as you can get and a real throw-back to the 70’s-80’s work mentality, if that is your thing. Also, no smoking anywhereon campus which might be the best benefits. The other benefits and bonus’ that matter are saved for senior management.

Cons

I witnessed so many lifer employees miserable, so many young and innovative employees leave and parents who never saw their children all for 2 weeks vacation a year and sick pay No one took and a 20$ gift card from middle management at Christmas. The company does not follow its’ model of ACTUALLY fostering innovation and they do not ensure employees are in their role that will ring out the best in the employee. They also do not pay competitively - the average 5 year employee who has increased job title is the basic wage of any entry level person around the country. You are better off taking your degree and talent to a place that actually rewards late nights, creativity and passion to any other company.

Pros

KOCH has lots of money so when economy is down, they still have money to buy new companies and expand. Occasional spot bonus if you can get on the right project .

Cons

Raises are far between, not uncommon for 5+ years between increases. Many coworkers moved on for this reason. Work that would exceed expectations at most companies will only get you a meeting expectations at Koch. Always more work than time.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We strive to offer competitive compensation and benefits to all employees and recognize those who provide additional value through variable pay (e.g., spot bonus, incentive compensation, etc.). Rather than utilizing a "one size fits all" formula, our compensation approach is based on an individual’s contributions that create value for our customers and company.
