Pros

Decent career opportunities. Plenty of different business units to move around when you get bored of your current job role, and in my experience, many are willing to take the time to teach.

Cons

Very competitive work force. Very cyclical industry. Employment opportunities exist, but can vary greatly depending on industry success.

Pros

The company has a STIP program, makes up for the 80 hours work weeks. It's based off of OPAC which is a con when mining is down.

Cons

You work 80 hour work weeks to try to stay a head.
