Pros

Higher than average pay for a company operating in Utah. Great benefit package as well including a significant annual bonus. Hired into a good organization with great people on the team and managing the team.

Cons

Mining industry subject to commodity prices so when copper prices dropped the company started layoffs. Too many inexperienced mid-level managers trying to move up the ladder when there were a limited number of positions available; that were already filled with ladder climbers.

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
