November 30, 2020
Hello, thank you for your review and for all your hard work at our Rosemount facility! Please know that I am sharing this with the appropriate leadership team as feedback. Wishing you all the best, Cali from the Talent Solutions team.

Great people and a great environment

Worked as an intern for a couple months. My internship was almost exclusively remote due to Covid. However, management and HR worked with me and even extended my internship 1.5 months. Remote work made it difficult to connect with coworkers and network, but my supervisor did an excellent job at making me feel involved and giving me direction during a turbulent time.Overall, I learned a lot during the internship, and all the people I met were very friendly and welcoming, I felt like I fit into the culture very well.

Pros

Friendly, helpful coworkers

Cons

Covid has slowed down their business and frozen some hiring

Pros

MBM Culture
Was this review helpful?

Mixed expectations from leadership

It seemed, at times, that image was more important than results. The culture was competitive internally, which reduced collaboration. If you asked a technical expert for help with a technical problem in their area of expertise, they often went to your boss to explain how you were incompetent. Other leaders there were excelled at leadership with clear expectations and data-based decision making. It seemed that the favorites and people who started there as interns adapted to the culture the best and got promoted faster. If you are well in to your career, ask tough questions around those things at your interview, and proceed with caution. However, Koch Industries results speak for themselves, so don't let my interpretation of the culture dissuade you; they're doing something right!

Pros

State of the art facility

Cons

Strange, often disjointed culture

Productive, different every day

good job, kept me busy with different projects, nice people to work with, overall exciting place to work. Work place culture was very respectable. There wasn't a typical day at wor, every day seemed different. The hardest part of the job was arranging catering on a last minute basis especially if there was more than one request in a day.

Pros

various duties

Cons

time constraints

Share your experience to help others

Micro managed, babysitting, double standards by management

Management is good in some departments and horrible in others! Double standards are placed on employees and HR always seems to side with supervisor. When they want you out, it doesn't matter how much you try. Very unrewarding managaing union employees and rarely feel like you're supported or rewarded. Good place to gain experience if you're willing to do everything your supervisor says, even when you don't agree. Principles make sense, but not when upper mgmt doenst follow them, its hard to be an effective manager. Pays well, and could be a good workplace, if you're actually supported by mgmt!

Pros

Pay

Cons

Too many to list!

Good Place and People

Coworkers were super friendly and helpful. They looked out for each other and always asked if help was needed. Hours were kind of random. Start times were consistent but hours not necessarily guaranteed. Pay was decent.

Pros

Good coworkers

Cons

Hours can be random

Unlimited growth potential

I worked at Flint Hills Resources for nearly 15 years, and felt that the only limiting factor in my advancement was my desire. The company treated its employees well, they have good benefits, and their focus on safety is absolutely necessary.

Pros

Lots of work opportunities

Cons

Long days and TurnArounds

Productive and fun place to work

I've worked for FHR for 1.5 years and the best thing is the MBM culture. It is a great company to work for with great mobility opportunities. The company really stands behind its core values and rewarding employees for their performance. I also enjoyed how each is different and bring new challenges.

Pros

Given proper decision rights based on experience.

Cons

Business does fluctuate somewhat with price of oil.

8 years of working at FHR

Advancement opprotunities

Cons

Sometimes, the job call calls for long hours - Turnarounds

Enjoyable and rewarding

People were great and travel and engagement with terminal staff was nice. Hardest part of job was travel. Most enjoyable part was all the varied personalities at the terminals. Management was also very approachable

intense

took up too much of my life. The money was good, but there was no opportunity for growth and the hours were not compatable with normal home life. It weighed heavy on the shift working staff.

Great environment to learn about refineries.

It is a great place to work and expand your knowledge of the refinery components. 12 hour rotating schedule, work on a crew to accomplish tasks that need to be done on shift or get ready for next shift, all while maintaining good operations through out the unit. I have learned lots on how managment works in combination with the operations.

Pros

able to work inside and outside

work nights, weekends and holidays
