Business outlook
Pros
Pay, share scheme and regular roster for FIFO. Can pursue other activities while on the job (share trading, house hunting)
Cons
Ultimately it comes down to this. During my 7 year career with Rio I was not given the opportunity to advance my skills in geology to move either into another geology role (without going back to graduate roles) or move up in the system (boom over positions consolidated old wood not trimmed). You won't be given opportunity to model deposits, you won't be given opportunity to move into other siloed departments, you probably won't get overseas (although I did...) and unless you happen to get lucky the role will be a dead end.
