Plenty of opportunities for training and self expansion. Largest in their field in North America. Many relocation opportunities.

Cons

Australian ownership drives ship from overseas. Aus. focus on chemicals side of industry. Short sighted decisions for quarterly profitability. Still an old boys network. At times overlook issues with long-term or senior staff but reprimand others. Not consistent handling employee issues.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good performing company with lots of opportunities, both here and globally. Growing despite the slow economy. Orica has a good culture, particularly around safety. The pace of change is quick and this creates lots of opportunites to advance. It is always good to work for a global market leader.

Cons

The mining industry is fairly conservative and Orica reflects this, meaning that it is not as entrenpenuerial as it could be. Historically there has been a real old boys club in the US business. This is being broken down however a lot these "old boys" create a lot of negative sentiment.
