Pros

TSNSS formerly Freedom Partners Shared Services like other Koch Network companies hold strong regard to their core values and Guiding Principles. A rewarding place to work.

Cons

The organization is too fast-paced. They are all for promoting change but not allowing enough time for change to take place will make you dizzy and wondering why that project you just spent all of your time working on is now scrapped or just simply not given enough time to let the dust settle. With the many opportunities within the network, I have found that cronyism is most certainly a thing there. The one thing the fight against they participate in. There are many people who are in positions they should not be in but if it does not work out for them or if they rub shoulders with the right people they will just get moved to another group to stir confusion there instead. High turnover.

Pros

Decent Pay and good vacation time. Some smart people, too, although they don't stay for long, due to a lack of opportunities and politics.

Cons

Very similar to the things we are hearing about with our Federal government. People are punished for pointing out inefficient things, like unused licenses, or expensive items that aren't needed. Many positions there need to be redefined in order to recognize their work. Other positions have zero function. Bring any of this up and you'll be in trouble. Two types of people that I noticed: 1) Performative Workers 2) those who do the heavy lifting and are highly qualified talent. Most likely not to get promoted and eventually leave for better options. The ones who are talented have options and leave. The ones who are not talented and do performative work stay. And ultimately they run the organization. Do the Math...after years of this you are left with an empty org of "yes" people who have no idea how to get things done. So, like always, they start a hiring blitz and the cycle continues. We bring in new talent, they stay for a year and bail when they realize they will not be rewarded for their efforts.

Pros

It’s a very weird place but if you like corporate jargon, you’ll be happy.

Cons

It’s a completely useless org with lots of money.
