Pros

Health Benefits, 401K, Remote Work Flexibility

Cons

During my time at GP, I experienced a micromanagement culture, with limited opportunities for professional growth or advancement. Despite being with the organization for nearly five years, I did not receive a raise, bonus, or additional compensation—despite consistently contributing to key initiatives. Promotions often appeared to be influenced more by personal relationships than by qualifications or experience, which created a perception of favoritism, inconsistency and low morale. In IT compensation was not tied to performance but rather left to managerial discretion. One manager explicitly stated that salary decisions were based on his personal desertion that's how he controls what people make. This directly contradicts the Koch PBM principles of fairness. Overall, there is a need for more transparent and experienced leadership, clearer advancement paths, and a stronger alignment with the organization’s stated values and performance model.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
