Pros
Peabody has been a wonderful place to work for me for nearly 20 years! When I first hired on I had several other offers and chose Peabody because of the people. I've worked for several employers, including other Fortune 500 companies, and Peabody's employee base is the best!
Cons
It has been disappointing how hard some groups fight our entire industry
Advice to Management
Continue track record of promoting from within

Pros
Great pay
Paid time off
Ability to advance if you apply yourselfCons
Very few understand the importance of field technology and big data. As much as I do enjoy mining, the deck is stacked against it; any competitive edge that can be gained from leveraging field data and translating that into efficiency seeems largely overlooked due to initial cost.
There seems to also be very cliquish attitudes within the mines. Qualifications, attitude, and proven performance dont necessarily translate into a leadership role should one come open.
Higher management also rarely comes out to the mine sites. This really gives employees the impression that we, a mining company, are not being led by people deeply involved in the culture.Advice to Management
Look forward further than short term paybacks. While initial capital cost may be large, long term savings brought forth by higher accountability and higher efficiency will almost always win out. Also, be more open minded to the new mining technologies of today; while some claims may seem outlandish I believe that proper education is needed at a higher level on some options that exist.
Interact with employees more often to help build rapport that is needed for employees to feel like more than just a number. Company wide emails and fliers arent the same as face to face encounters.Peabody 2017-12-09 04:36 PST![Peabody Logo]()
