Pros

The best safety culture I have ever had the privileged of working with, that's including several other mines I have been at. Always provided proper PPE to the highest degree, no junk. Also, every quarter there was a so called 'State of the Union' where the mine manager would discuss the reality of how the mine was doing; what was going out of service, coming in service, and profits. Then they opened it up for questions and answered pretty honestly.... I would recommend to anyone. Lastly, great workforce, friendly beyond believe for the mining community.

Cons

For the cost of living in Juneau, Alaska I think the pay should be something like 10-15% more. Starter homes, that are attached, with 1500 sq ft run around $300,000 plus. I live in the lower 48 now and for the cost of housing here and live a lot better although I make $20,000 less.

Pros

Great environment for growth. Allow employees to internally transfer to departments that are completely different than their current position.

Cons

Everyone seems very unhappy. It seems as though some employees are stuck there and want to get out but don't know what else to do.

Benefits are being decreased and executive management doesn't have much respect for the IT department.
