Pros

Peers and coworkers typically are amazing. Those closer to the work typically are amazing humans who really care. Excellent pay, benefits are average, time off decent, and opportunities are plentiful.

Cons

As one elevates to roles at Sr levels the further you find them (your leaders) not living up to company values. Directors, regional leaders, and VPs rarely live out guiding principles and values and you typically find them more as micro managers attempting to justify their role. Do not go here if you value bonuses, you won’t get it. Some of the plant mangers especially in CPG were the worse I had ever worked with especially with micromanagement. Undermining department leaders, inappropriate conversations, and poor people leadership. The influx of hiring IP people and not grounding them in Koch values is why people like myself left and will continue to leave.

Pros

Autonomy Remote work opportunities Decent Pay - only if you negotiate it

Cons

Zero training Poor leadership Lack of recognition Constant focus on “closing gaps” - you’ll spend all your time talking about less than 2% of revenue/profit Inconsistent bonus payouts with no metrics to understand how they arrive at a figure No clarity on how to achieve pay increases. Constant responsibilities added to your role that were not previously part of the role you were hired for.
