Pros

GP as a whole is a good company, and well managed. GPR Trader position is good way to sell wastepaper before taking next step into Sales Manager position in domestic and international markets. Face-to-face customer visits are key in this business and the relationship building is key.

Cons

GPR (Harmon) does not follow Koch Guiding Principles or MBM. Subjective Variable Compensation plan; no logic or transparency to receive bonuses and commissions. Limited support from inside sales/export/customer service/order management/accounting/logistics and other capabilities. Middle management, don't have decision rights and will take orders in a "top-down" approach. Career discussions and salary reviews proved to be meaningless, as management did not want to promote from within.

It is an expectation that all sites are upholding MBM, and every employee at all Koch companies are being stewards of our Guiding Principles. It is also an expectation each employee is consistently discussing their role, responsibilities, and expectations, along with compensation with their supervisor. Please know I’ll be passing your review along to the appropriate leadership teams as feedback. Wishing you all the best, Cali from Talent Solutions
