Pros

Solid pay check every two weeks. I was allowed to take my 5 weeks of vacation. I did have decision rights over my direct reports.

Cons

Koch bought GP in the spring of 2006. Immediately we all went through MBM Training . MBM teaches integrity, humility, respect, fulfillment, etc. Senior management does not practice this in my division. Commitment and dedication make no differerence whatsoever. I got a very raw deal in the end. If you are 50+, make a decent salary, and have 15+ years of seniority, you had better be looking for a job. No bonuses since the Koch acquisition. No raises since the Koch acquisition.

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.
