Pros

Good benefits, great mine and process plants, great people and very good programs. Interns and recent graduates are able to learn quickly and use this experience as a stepping stone to another company.

Cons

The previous reviews are correct. Onboarding is not good. Expats are destroying the culture and convincing Americans that this is leadership. This could be the worst work place in US mining. It is that bad. Non mining companies are able to hire the best employees, due to average base salaries. The last three CEO’s were let go. $39 Billion ALCAN acquisition was a disaster. Juukan Gorge incident will forever be remembered.

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.
