Pros

Newmont has great benefits and career opportunities. I have been with the company for eighteen years and have worked in four different departments. Each change has brought career growth and significant increases in pay. Benefits are outstanding with both a pension and 401k retirement plan as well as company provided clinics and transportation to mine sites. There is a very strong committment to safety and the environment. Newmont's mine sites in Nevada are very diverse culturally with employees from 20 different countries. Every generation is represented with some employees working for Newmont for almost 50 years!

Cons

Northeastern Nevada is very rural but the people are very friendly and there lots of recreational activities and community events to participate in. A great place to put down roots!

Pros

Good Benefits and great pay, pension, 6% 401k match

Cons

Newmont has gone through 5 layoffs in 5 years. The most recent is currently ongoing with an estimated 3000 people globally being let go. The last layoff ended in April and employees were told that it would be the last one for awhile. This layoff was announced in August, so 4 months is all they went without starting another one. The employees don't trust the company anymore because of the repeated lies about layoffs. Newmont says they aren't making money with gold at record highs yet they are building all new offices in Australia and Costa Rica that are state of the art. If you have the choice go somewhere else. The other big issue is that no one in management takes harassment or retaliation seriously. Even when it's a Senior Manager harassing their employees (me). I went to HR and the managers boss, everyone swept it under the rug. The manager then retaliated against me for going to HR, I brought that up to HR and was told "no he is allowed to say what he wants and pull you from any task for any reason".
