Decent pay, crap management

Pros

Decent pay, not amazing but ok

Cons

Typical company that once one idiot gets in a position of power they only bring other idiots up with them. Also very very cliquish. The further up the food chain they go the more the company will protect bad behavior

Dis-Economy of Scale

Pros

Great pay. Great benefits. Rotation through different roles is an excellent resume builder.

Cons

Lack of focus. Lack of follow-through. Lack of accountability. Relatively averse to innovation and technology (stagnant, not competitive). Lack of technical training and/or cross-training through rotations - you figure it out yourself. Most of the promotions/opportunities go to the brown-nosers, image builders, and those with a personal agenda, rather than to those who are actually adding value to the organization and/or have leadership skills.

Pros

Name is good on resume. Definitely a good company to learn the trade

Cons

Stay away from the morenci mine if you are the type who can't stand poor professionalism and pettiness. It's a buddy system. You have to hunt, shoot, chew and spit with the bosses.
