      Missed opportunities

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great opportunities on paper. You hear of some individuals being given great opportunities and support. Opportunities are there if you are willing to bypass or ignore some elements of the management team.

      Cons

      Middle management is often undertrained and left to wreak havoc on employee morale. This creates a complete disconnect between what Rio Tinto says it does for its employees and how most employees actually feel or are treated.
