Pros

Gain some experience in mining industry. Some inhouse opportunities to work away at regional sites. Good place to work as short term job while you look for something better.

Cons

Low pay rate Hot dirty working conditions. Minimal career advancement. They only want robots to get their numbers done and do not recognise any skills The shifts do not help or support each other through proper hand overs or end of shift tidying. Many upper and lower management are very condescending, rude and gossip and complain about any new staff. Very boring work.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
