Pros

Ok salary,good working hours,good final salary pension (don't know how long for though) great shop-floor workers will stand by each other.

Cons

Management an absolute joke.Do not have a clue what they are doing.Compleat lack of direction.No respect for the people who actually do the work.Management to interested in making there bones no mater who they stab in the back.certainly not investors in people. To often it is left to shop floor workers to fix the mess of countless bad decisions made by people who should not be in the position they are in and are clearly out of their depth,because it was who they know not what they know got them into that position.

Pros

Benefits are fantastic, employee share program, inexpensive insurance options with generous HSA contributions ($3000 per year), ample opportunities for career growth for those willing to relocate (internationally sometimes)

Cons

Mining is cyclic, layoffs are always a looming threat, depending on role 50-60 hr work week is common

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.
