Pros

- If you have the initiative you can take on multiple projects - Lots of personal career growth occurs when working with the "non-workers" - Good compensation particularly for multiple internships - Will likely discover you don't want to work for Newmont before it's too late

Cons

- 1/3 of the workforce calls themselves "the nonworkers" because they litterally avoid doing any work. They will try to prevent you from getting your work done and will do everything possible to make your internship hell. Possibly succeeding. - If you don't take the initiative you can spend your entire grinding rocks or worse absolutely nothing - Projects frequently are not valuable and are a mutual waste of time - Very disorganized intern program - Willingness to lose millions of dollars instead of spending thousands of dollars on chemical products

Pros

Generally good people. Pay and benefits are decent

Cons

Management keeps taking away employee perks and seems to only want to hoard more of the wealth, Record gold prices yet we continue to have cuts and had multiple waves of layoffs... disgusting. No upward mobility
