Pros

-Pays well -2-on, 2-off rotation out of Edmonton/Yellowknife -Good/friendly people to work with -Not much life left in the mine so severance is right around the corner

Cons

-Long working hours (+12/day) where it sometimes feels taboo to ask for overtime pay. -High production and development targets make it feel like we're under a constant squeeze.

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.
