Pros

- Strong safety culture - Some very talented and smart people - Might be good for a year or two - Working on the mine can be good money for unskilled labour and they will train you well

Cons

-You will not get a pay rise, they used to do it but now its inflation only -constant org reshuffles in an attempt to fix systematic issues -base pay is no longer competitive and bonuses have been stripped back -mid level leaders are not empowered, staff are not trained or developed. -leaders get excited by the next new tech shift without fixing existing problems -they will hire external rather than develop internal staff

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.
