What is the best part of working at the company?
When you listen to all the workers that been there 15 to 20 years and more and they definitely have a culture most Alaska Natives and natives do not feel comfortable being around but of course they would all deny it but I work 3 months with them and after hearing my coworkers talk about minorities I didn't want a thing to do with them

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to deal with non-natives and being a Alaskan native was the hardest part of having to hear them talk about people they didn't agree with regardless of anything other than this colored or skin now this is not for everyone that works are obviously but there's a select few that are pretty clear on how they feel about other cultures

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you fit in with their click it's good but if you don't fit into their close-knit group it's a very long two weeks there and you can't wait to get out of there that's how I felt and ended up quitting after 3 months and only getting paid $17 an hour

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
12-hour shift and you work 14 days on and 14 days off and they do stress a lot of safety issues which I like but again dealing with the different personalities here and if you didn't fit in it made for a very long two weeks there and as Alaska native I didn't care for it

  Christmas party was usually pretty good once a yr.

   Learned post heat and preheat and special apps for diff metal and thicknesses. Management left you alone as long as you were producing.

   Culture was step it up or be pushed aside had a lot of friends up on that mountain though. Tough work never got hurt all those yrs.

    Hardest part was learning to handle the high extreme heat.


     Best part of job was you developed friends who never forgot you even yrs later.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

2 men, 1 job, twice.

The actual hands working out there were great.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Remove the installation that the supervisors demanded you install the day before inspite of your suggestions and reinstall it according to Industry standards.  Then take the heat for why it didn't work the first time.

Meeting after meeting with corporate representatives sitting in and micro managing every aspect of day to day operations. Unable to drive change or improve the culture as it all starts at the top. Safety and employee exposures given very little priority. They are a production driven company and could care less. HR team mostly works remotely and is absent from day to day. Expect to do their job too if you are involved with management. 

The corporate office offers many perks and benefits that the site employees do not have access too, everyone is burnt out from working too many hours.  The hiring process takes months and every team is at least one person short.  This leaves everyone to pick up the slack and often creates an unsafe work environment.  There is no leadership, training, or development and very little organization.  High turnover rates, equipment is always down, and very little response from other teams.

just like most companies corporate is not the frendliest, but a job is just a stepping stone shouldnt be your last stop. longest job i ever had in the electrical department was very supportive and great work culture, nothing is perfect in any job or department. the millwrights and electricians get along wich is awesome. most of the supervisors are the best ive ever had. 

Be prepared to come in on snow days no matter what your expected to show up and will receive points if not. Training is horrible for every task. Everything is a case by case basis. Managers leave no room for advancement. There’s a reason we are constantly hiring. 

Coeur Mining is relatively new to the Chicago market with a lot of new faces in key positions.  They are in the all trying to figure it out at this time and I'm confident that they will.  They have a good leadership team and business strategy.

i worked in this company several years and have learned alot. there are chances for advancement. one of the longest jobs i have had. health benefits and great 401k match

Being away from families and missing home life and others …
