Pros
Boart Longyear is great with work/life balance. The flexible work times really helps when it comes to working and taking care of your families and being able to work some days in the office and some days at home for those of us who can.
Cons
The biggest downside of Boart Longyear is they don't give sufficient merit increases. They give you 2-3% yearly, but when we have been having very profitable years, the employees don't see anything financially. I am sure the executive staff gets their bonuses, but the employees still get 2-3% a year which is truly a slap in the face. The success should be shared with all employees, maybe then, there won't be such a high turnover. Very few of us still here after enduring the bad years and the good years.
