Pros
Peers are great. They are all in the same boat.
Cons
The company does not support their employees; no on boarding, unrealistic objectives, overworked (50+ hours a week at least). CFO doesn't communicate to department. Lots of turnover. Many new employees are gone within the first few months. One manager moved from another state to come on board and was let go within 6 months. Many employees are actively looking for work outside of Orica and this is not a secret. This is the norm and has been for years. I would never recommend to a friend. They do NOT deserve a good employee - they will not do anything for you but want you to do more with absolutely no appreciation or compensation. No work life balance. Out in the middle of nowhere with rattle snakes. Plan on spending the day out on their campus because lunch options are 15 minutes away. Not many go to lunch because they spend lunches working to get at least 50 + hours in. Stressful! Poor morale! The environment makes you feel bad about yourself because you can't do enough for them. Many jobs are a combination of what you were hired for and another position.
