Vantaggi

Pay, share scheme and regular roster for FIFO. Can pursue other activities while on the job (share trading, house hunting)

Svantaggi

Ultimately it comes down to this. During my 7 year career with Rio I was not given the opportunity to advance my skills in geology to move either into another geology role (without going back to graduate roles) or move up in the system (boom over positions consolidated old wood not trimmed). You won't be given opportunity to model deposits, you won't be given opportunity to move into other siloed departments, you probably won't get overseas (although I did...) and unless you happen to get lucky the role will be a dead end.

Vantaggi

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)

Svantaggi

Mining is cyclic, layoffs are always a looming threat, depending on role 50-60 hr work week is common

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
