Pros

Great pay and benefits. Most people stay because of the benefits. Hard to beat the 401k matching, and bonuses at year end. Receive tuition reimbursement. Fantastic safety culture(see below).

Cons

Australian company, Australians tend to hold most upper management roles. Work load can become extreme depending on location. Layoffs. Training can be inadequate, lack of employee development. Safety culture that is becoming all-consuming.

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.
