Pros

During my time at Rio, I felt I was given excellent training and presented with several interesting opportunities and responsibilities. The team I worked for was particularly wonderful to work with and I felt a lot of solidarity was fostered amongst us co-workers. I also felt that the benefits were excellent.

Cons

Due partially to the fact that the office was mainly senior management, the office environment was rather stiff and at times overly formal for the most part though not unfriendly.

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.
