      When it's good, it's good; when it's bad, it's bad.

      Pros

      Great personal development opportunities were made available for advancement within the business unit I was employed. Health, Safety, Environment and Community were of utmost importance.

      Cons

      Upper management sometimes doesn't understand what needs to be done to get work done. Change is good but hasty decisions are made for the sake of saving a little bit of money while ignoring the excessive spending occurring within other business units.

      Pros

      Offer very good benefits and recognize the work-life balance is important. They respect your personal life and realize that things happen during work hours. They try to help improve careers and are willing to assist in the learning process. Safety is very key, sometimes overwhelming, but every personnel's safety, including contractors and visitors, is high priority. Rich culture environment with people from many different backgrounds and cultures.

      Cons

      Due to multiple sites being miles apart, communication and meetings suffer a bit. Some days feel like you're driving more than work. Most communication between sites is done via phone conference meetings which take away from meetings at times. Favoritism of different sites also exist among some managers. They are attempting to improve communication, but it still has a way to go.

      Pros

      A quality assortment of specialist minds from technical accounting and corporate finance through to exploration geology.

      Cons

      The tough commodities market has made the senior management into political partisan groups. This could be the downfall in the near future when people below them cannot climb the chain of management due to the pigs snouts in the trough at the top.
