Pros

Onsite training allows for personal growth within the company. Good safety policies that are enforced in order to help save lives. Good union that supports its members. Clean work environment. Quality co-workers.

Cons

Dissemination of information is lacking. Not a lot of vacation until you have been with the company for almost 10 years. Typical adjustments of being a smaller entity within a larger corporation that is trying to reduce.

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.
