Pros

Lots of people are willing to make a difference and also open to share their expertise Opportunity to learn is out there, you just need to take the extra step

Cons

The upper management team do a poor job envisioning and execute their strategies for the company; there is no clear direction since it changes before anything get implemented right; there is no serious follow through regards projects or anything that matter. There is no strategy for Human Resources management whatsoever, actually they are the department where the turnover seems pretty high

Pros

reasonable pay and benefits. usually home at night.

Cons

management, management management. Orica is constantly chipping away at all of the things that made people want to work for the companies that it has consumed. management is self centered and will stop at nothing to improve the bottom line. taking from employees has become a favorite pastime of management. no rewards for loyalty or hard work. employees are laid off easily. management will try to force employees into crappy positions. expect them to bear the expenses to move to them. buys generic equipment without regard to the environments that they work in.
