Koch Foods started as a one-room chicken de-boning and cutting operation with 13 employees. They've grown to be one of the top poultry processors in the U.S., but the core of who they are remains unchanged: adept, reliable and service oriented. Their state-of-the-art equipment allows us to process chicken with great efficiency, while their company structure keeps us nimble and able to react quickly to the needs of their customers and changes in the marketplace.
The staff at Koch Foods come from unusually diverse demographic backgrounds. The company is 43.9% female and 39.8% ethnic minorities. Despite its diversity in other areas, Koch Foods employees are noticeably lacking in political diversity. It has an unusually high proportion of employees who are members of the Republican Party, at 70.0%. Employees seem to enjoy working in an otherwise diverse workplace that is dominated by members of the Republican Party. Koch Foods has great employee retention with staff members usually staying with the company for 3.1 years.The average employee at Koch Foods makes $29,616 per year. Pay at Koch Foods is significantly lower than some of its highest paying competitors, like Cargill Meat Solutions Corporation, Marshall Durbin, and National Beef Leathers, which pay $50,686, $48,280, and $46,472, respectively.
Based in Illinois, Koch Foods is an industry leader with 30,000 employees and an annual revenue of $11.0B.

Pros of working at Koch Foods

The hours. Easy to get on 1st shift as new hire. Most places coming in start you on 3rd shift because the older or more senior employees have all taken those positions...also believe this is due to the extremely high turnover rate. The place is a revolving door, people don't stay long because they aren't making money there.

Cons of working at Koch Foods

Too strict, too hard on employees for the low wage they pay. The pay they offer is just enough to get by, sadly that money...a big portion is taken for your benefits.

Koch Foods Benefits

I don't have one. I'm waiting for the coronavirus passes so I too can move on to something better. Like I said the place is a revolving door.
