Pros

Pay is very good. On-site gym. They have an extreme effort to promote safety which often hinders productivity.

Cons

Archaic systems. Promotions to management or positions within company are not reflective of an individual's skills or knowledge. Often chaotic and knee-jerk management style. No employee training or skill development. Too much communication.

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.
