Pros

The culture at site level ‘at the coal face’ is fantastic. The employees genuinely care about the company being successful and do their very best even with the constant, seemingly poorly thought out challenges pushed upon the team from above.

Cons

Lack of career progression/lack of reward. There’s apparently a mentoring program in place but it is not widely promoted. Develop you was hyped up then absolutely no follow through. Even when following the advice given to ensure a place on programs such as the mentoring program nothing happens and there is no communication of adjusted time frames etc. Peabody seem happy for employees to undertake higher level tasks with a lower level title to avoid paying the higher salary also.

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"
