Pros

In years past they were numerous. All benefits have dried up and gone away.

Cons

Company is in total free fall with no clear sense of direction other than shed all lower level employees and try to centralize services.

Pros

Peabody was a great employer with highly skilled, hard working people. I enjoyed working with literally everyone I came into contact with.

Cons

The industry is going through some brutal years and navigating this period is tough. Peabody is one to watch, as coal forms an essential role in the U.S. and global energy mix. If any pure-play company can weather the period ahead, it will be Peabody. I only hope that the company will emerge ready to compete when the markets recover.
