Pros

• Opportunity to bring your career to next level • Opportunity to work with the best talent in the mining industry • Competitive salary and benefits for Montreal • Working for a prestigious and recognized company • Opportunity to grow quickly if working hard and international opportunities. Career development • Opportunity to travel • Strong culture and values, making you proud to be part of this global company

Cons

- Long hours of work, no worklife - balance consideration - Uncertainty and instability, too numerous changes in the direction where the company is going in the last 3 years. This company is not for “cardiac” people or they will not stay long - Lack of recognition. Lack of feedback in regards to our work. - As HSE being a priority, should focus more on wellness and wellbeing and mental wellness - - Loyalty. We can be long term employee or not, we are just "a number" that they can remove quickly. The company is not showing us the contrary unfortunately.

Benefits are fantastic, employee share program, inexpensive insurance options with generous HSA contributions ($3000 per year), ample opportunities for career growth for those willing to relocate (internationally sometimes)

Cons

Mining is cyclic, layoffs are always a looming threat, depending on role 50-60 hr work week is common

Pros

Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

Cons

Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.
