Pros

Steady work, always had a paycheck. Say the right thing to the right person and get promoted regardless of skill level. Hourly positions still pay and have good benefits. Good to have a job in this economy.

Cons

They have a good philosophy, but no one including the Kock brothers practice it. No one will give a straight answer for fear of being held accountable to it, compensation, benefits, promotional opportunities are a joke, no raise in three years, none on the horizon, no bonuses as promised, you can get better medical benefits on social security or state assistance. Pick and use any mbm principles they think will serve their immediate needs, disregard the rest. Talk safety and accountability, but haven't a clue what that means.

Pros

Schedule, flexibility, pay, co- workers, relationships

Cons

No COLA, annual reviews pushed back, comp reviews consistently pushed back even further. Non value added meetings & ‘fluff’ with Koch book reading requirements (which directly conflict in the respect philosophy when it comes to comp reviews), no consistency in business units- ie. Moving from one to another group a vast difference in how they treat/respect employees
