      Department run like private estate

      Scheduler dynamic scheduling
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay Rio tinto overall is a good brand

      Cons

      Dynamic scheduling is run like a private kingdom Zero transparency Direct appoint people to roles with no advertising the position or giving other candidates even a chance of applying. Secondments almost always given to people outside the team. Demoralising for schedulers who realise they will have no scope of growth. Leadership team utilise nepotism as means to get mates jobs. Manager busy scoring brownie points direct appointing people to roles. Direct appointing people based on gender and nepotism. Zero value for skills experience or knowledge. Rio values of transparency equal opportunity etc is non existant in dynamic scheduling as a department.

      Pros

      Pay, share scheme and regular roster for FIFO. Can pursue other activities while on the job (share trading, house hunting)

      Cons

      Ultimately it comes down to this. During my 7 year career with Rio I was not given the opportunity to advance my skills in geology to move either into another geology role (without going back to graduate roles) or move up in the system (boom over positions consolidated old wood not trimmed). You won't be given opportunity to model deposits, you won't be given opportunity to move into other siloed departments, you probably won't get overseas (although I did...) and unless you happen to get lucky the role will be a dead end.
