Pros

Medical insurance Share matching & working with other advisors

Cons

High turnover clique like environment where only yes-people get promoted. Many HRA promoted are sycophants lacking the necessary skills & knowledge, elevated solely to maintain appearances. HRA performance is evaluated by TLs, & it often boils down to personal favoritism. HRA review should be weighted 50% TL & 50% the leader of team you are advising this removed bias HRA who provide poor support & advice are promoted based on their TLs review'. HRA’s, that are hardworking, have people at their heart, are bullied and pushed aside, as the focus in HR is on maintaining appearances

Pros

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.
