      Pros

      Ethical, safety is a priority, committed to their people. Good salaries, great benefits.

      Cons

      Slow moving beast, takes a long time to implement changes if you can get through the red tape. Change and risk adverse.

      Pros

      The pay / lack of oversight

      Cons

      The culture is really awful here. The people are some of the most abrasive I have ever worked with. The higher-paid leaders really don't add any value to the company. They suggest ideas without any knowledge of what's actually going on at the mine, production and shipping plants. The people who work in the plants don't have any motivation to work harder, because they see the laziness that comes from the top down. The union culture is hard. If you can get an internship elsewhere, I suggest looking elsewhere.

      Pros

      Nice working team. Salary is good and bonuses is determined toward personal and safety performances.

      Cons

      Nearest big city is 2.5 hours drive. Always in the "Do more with less" mode resulting in taking wrong turns.
