Pros

Rio Tinto has had excellent benefits, and the people there are terrific to work with. The technologies deployed for mining tech is very interesting.

Cons

They are undergoing cost saving initiatives and outsourcing many of their services, resulting in uncertainty for current staff. Being part of a global group, the work day can stretch for many hours to be able to meet with colleagues in other regions, making work/life balance difficult to non-existent.

Pros

Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

Cons

Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.
