Pros

Good pay for the most part, great medical benefits

Cons

Constantly changing the organization structure even when its working. It's all about who you know. The Senior leadership doesn't practice what they preach. Being a global company no one out of the US understands the culture and expect you to adapt theirs. Focus on safety is there but not on wellbeing. Salaried employees have an unsaid commitment to 50+ hour work weeks.

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.
