Work at Maxam - Regional Treasurer Maxam Employee Review

There are a lot of really good people who work here!

The explosives business is tied to the mining business, and that's hard as commodity prices rise and fall and margins grow and are compressed. There are other industries that can throw money at problems. Here, you have to throw hard work and ingenuity at problems.

Interesting work in different locations. You work with different blasting companies every day. Many different skills to learn and different types of bulk trucks to operate.

Extremely physical labor and hours are inconsistent. Generally a winter layoff. Raises are few and far between and generally not very significant.
