I worked at Newmont Mining full-time
Pros – Overall, there is a very friendly atmosphere. I saw a lot of cooperation across departments. There is also a good work-life balance.
Cons – It was hard to think of a con. The only con is that things can get dull. However, I would take dull over chaotic.
Advice to Senior Management – Nice job! Maintain the positive work-life balance and good culture!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Newmont Mining full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – People have flocked to the Elko Nevada area, the Carlin pit mine in my case, to be thankful to have a job. It's a secure thought and has benefits included.
Cons – The management, supervisors especially, are basically treating people like slaves to the lowest point, and have a mixed bag of reasons to fire you.It's ok for one person, different for the drinking/fishing pal. They need a standard of acceptance, cut the crap on female harassment, be aware of it, from supervisors to workmates.Supervisors need to follow trained procedures, have a brain, not be a family member of past and move in progression, or an eager idiot who wants a name tag and shove people around.You are losing good dedicated people over ignorance in supervision/policies.They never explain a workers rights in a situation, because most supervisors don't even know them! Profits are #1, safety always #2 until after the fact, they put on a good show to cover their butt first ALWAYS! Train supervisors and HR to today's standards, not make their own as see fit, continuity works great in a workplace!
Advice to Senior Management – Get your head out of the sand, it's 2013, not 1935. There is a need to treat workers right, with reason for cause. I would NEVER invest into this outfit, just to line corporate pockets, slavery was supposed to be abolished years ago. If you have a large turnover of workers, maybe look down the line and see really why you're losing them.You spend a fortune on training, why lose them over ignorance on your part?
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Newmont Mining as an intern for less than a year
Pros – I worked at their smaller MTF lab and the people there were great. It is a pretty big company, fortune 500 and 46,000 employees, so there are the benefits of the big company. I worked at a 200 person lab, so there was definitely also the feel of a nice homey place to work. Very good work life balance working 9/80s.
Cons – Can't think of any cons
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
