Pros

Good salary Long term workers are friendly and helpful Lots of challenging work

Cons

No support from direct supervision No career progression for long term employees. Management gives opportunities to a select few. A lot of jobs in middle management are not advertised internally. Management seems to have a hidden agenda and doesn't communicate things well.

Pros

Benefits are fantastic, employee share program, inexpensive insurance options with generous HSA contributions ($3000 per year), ample opportunities for career growth for those willing to relocate (internationally sometimes)

Cons

Mining is cyclic, layoffs are always a looming threat, depending on role 50-60 hr work week is common
