Pros

If you know some one at VP/ President /Director level and form a clique - you always will be looked after even after failing to perform. You need to be part of the closed circle and not necessarily to deliver. Smart Executive Management Staff and Board and knowledgeable covering the lack of knowledge of the rest of the team. Excellent Board , Presidents and CEO

Cons

There is never a set KPI to measure the performance of employees given to measure at the start of the year. Performances are measured very subjective, judgmental and unprofessional. HR policies are dated , often hidden agenda, secreted and tacit arrangement used for conveniences. If you do not have any God Father or person who knows you, no matter how smart you are - sorry. Very unreasonable HR, Senior Management with no respect to company policies or treating people with respect. Vendor selection is also done on subjectivity and failed vendors /consultants get repeat orders. DON'T TRUST on verbal promises from Recruiter, HR or even your Hiring Manager. Selective memory. Contractors /Consultants are rewarded highly than own staff. They sack the smart staff to replace with mediocre yes man contractors to have least resistance in execution.

Pros

This company has great medical, dental and vision insurance. There's a 401k with 5% company match. It's a smaller mine than the others.

Cons

Management consists of guys who play golf together, drink together or belong to the same church. If you're a woman, you can just forget about being a boss. Don't expect any raises if you're in operations. Raises usually go to mechanics and electricians. I was told once by an upper management guy that haul truck drivers are a dime a dozen. Plus, they know you can't go anywhere else and make the money you make there without having to pick up and move your whole family somewhere else.

Pros

Location was interesting for someone who has never worked in a mine before. Great pay, great benefits. Training was lengthy and involved.

Cons

Management doesn't seem to know what they want. Human resources seems to run the company.
