Pros

The people - most employees generally care about the company and ensuring its success. Morale on some sites is exceptional and feels like a family if you get a good one. I had one outstanding manager at Peabody who is now a mentor I go to for advice.

Cons

Lack of career progression - someone has to retire or resign for opportunities to come up and even when they do, the competition is fierce. Diversity is a problem - the executive level is almost entirely male and middle aged and while there is a lot of robust conversations going on about how to address this, action is limited. The work environment is extremely inflexible, having now worked at an organisation who do flexible work amazingly well, Peabody really pales in comparison. You are also not looked at for promotion if you work part time - I was told all managers must be full time otherwise you are not serious about your career.

Great people who want to see you succeed, variety of tasks, opportunity to develop career.

Hours may be a little more than some are used to, coal mines aren't for everyone, sometimes you may have to "figure it out"
