Pros

Plenty of work hours, all the overtime you will ever want. Paid time off honored well. Some travel which can be seen as a real Benefit. There was a pension when I was employed there. Safety is held to a higher standard than most work cultures.

Cons

Too much of a work load from micromanaging leaves little time for personal life. No room for moving up, even when you’ve met the micromanaged tasks. Employees are very disrespectful and will step on you to get ahead. No pay scale, high turn over. Poorly managed environment creates a lot of these issues. No clear direction from leadership except to micromanage everything until everyone is busy doing tasks. Busyness is confused with real progress.

Thanks for your feedback - we’re sorry that Koch wasn’t the right long-term fit for you. We do encourage employees to share their ideas and concerns openly (or anonymously through our Guideline) to help hold one another accountable, so we hope you shared these thoughts with HR or your supervisor before leaving. We appreciate the compliment about our safety culture. We take pride in fostering a responsible work environment, which includes treating our team members, customers, contractors and communities with respect.
