      All in the Price of Copper...

      Diesel diagnostic mechanic
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pretty good pay good benefits, quarterly safe production bonuses, and a discretionary bonus at the end of the year depending on how well the company did on production and the price of copper. As a diesel mechanic I was given annual raises and when a higher level position was available after 6 months in my current role I was able to apply for that next level higher paying position. The company does a decent job of showing its quarterly results in safety and production.

      Cons

      Typical small town mine atmosphere (everyone knows everyone). A little of the buddy system going on here, not too bad. 12 hr shifts but had lots of days off. living in a small mining town is pretty boring but quiet. When the price of copper drops below 2.20 a pound they made cutbacks forcing early retirement, cut over time and made mine plan changes but didnt have layoffs

      Phelps Dodge was my worst nightmare

      Research engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They hire new engineers out of school and give them opportunity to start their career.

      Cons

      This applies only for Phelps Dodge (before the buy out) 1. Insane management that mentally torments employees 2. Employees are forced to put in illegal long hours daily 3. Managers threaten and scream (really loud) at the employees 4. Managers snoop on the private life of the employees and use that to punish them at work 5. Incompetent management that takes lots of time off during the day for their private chores
