Pros

Mining work is big, dirty, noisy, long hours, shift work - but, well-paid.

Cons

Company wastes a lot of money on badly managed projects and no one seems to care. They are running out of ore and have laid off a lot of people in the last year.

Pros

The benefits are good and they pay well for the area I live in. There are many sites around the world if you wanted to apply and move around the world. Emphasis on safety.

Cons

Management changes a lot. Because of that, policies often change. Just like many big businesses, the high paid important "old timers" are getting phased out for those willing to make less money.
