Pros

I worked at Rio Tinto for 4 months as a coop student and it was an amazing experience. I learned a great deal, people were always willing to help and lend a hand. Everyone was super nice. The pay and benefits were good too.

Cons

It got boring sometimes and since you're an intern you get ragged on a lot sometimes. Other than that it can be difficult dealing with the upper management.

Pros

Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

Cons

Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.
