What is the best part of working at the company?
Corrupt company. Lied to get me to move there for permitting purposes only never intending on keeping me. They tried to make use of me as a company narc while I was there which I would not do. Then they started making up stuff to right me up and eventually a big lie to send me home. Then the termination letter they mailed never addressed the reason they sent me home or any other reason for termination. Everyone in the office from management down were ALL from Nevada or somehow knew one of them previously that was. It's the worst employment experience of me life and that is saying something.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Figuring out why they hired me knowing they were going to get rid of me way in advance after I'd just moved states to work there. It's way so obvious it was ridiculous.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nothing but flaming liberals in the office running things. Have to watch over your shoulder and watch how you say anything. They will just hang you out to dry with zero help or guidance into what they want from you. They will ghost you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Absolutely miserable. I don't really know a better way to say it.

The people are mostly amazing people. They teach you everything you need to know to get you started with Safety and working in and around an active mine. There seems to be an unspoken or unwritten rule book somewhere that all the management staff follow...with few exceptions but not many. Safety and training is great, however departmental training is so fast and duplicates a lot of the first week of training. Job listing doesn't list all necessary requirements for the job. HR management cannot give you "the time of day" for whatever reason and everybody acts like they are always practicing CYA excuses. Seems like a great place to work. I heard a lot of good things about working here and how well the company takes care of the employees. They have a couple good programs in place, however, if you get on their "bad side" they will dump you in a heartbeat instead of working with you on steps that could be taken to try and preserve the employer-employee relationship. This could be just my observations as a former employee having been through the process.

Have never had to write  a review before, that’s how bad it is in maintenance branch. Never worked with the laziest management in my life. Way to many “managers” most of whom do literally nothing. Glorified picture takers and “planners”. Groups and groups of employees try and communicate the problems and nothing is done. Most everyone talks about leaving. Toxic work environment, Very unprofessional. Shame since this place could be really great if the employees were heard. Never have equipment to work with, slapped a bandaid for that by giving a sad 700 dollar tool allowance. Bleed money everywhere but on their employees. If your not so called “management” then you’re nothing and treated as such. If you don’t kiss a** then your just worked into the ground. Good employees are just used and rarely rewarded. Not sure if it’s favoritism? Either way falls back in management. All in all just impressively bad

Awful place to work but pay and benefits are great if it's worth it to you. Better to be single to work here. I have a wife and children and it really put a strain on that relationship. Almost caused a divorce and my kids saw me once every two weeks and we stayed in the same house. Usually worked 14-16 hours a day in all conditions including a few hurricanes.

I have worked here a long time the pay is good but I know people that don't lift a finger and make more than me which is extremely aggravating I'm in the maintenance department which has undergone new management by someone you can tell is by no means a mechanic and it shows and there is hardly any real mechanics there to work and the ones that are there they expect to perform miracles and if you make the wrong one mad you can kiss your job goodbye

Terrible place to work management is very poor they do not care about their employees. If you are looking for money it’s a good job health insurance is very expensive and all other benefits are to expensive. They work rotating shifts if you have a family you will not see them much have to work over on your days off to make good money. I would not recommend it unless you are out of a job and desperate.

Interesting and challenging,  coordinating with engineering department and suppliers to obtain the best equipment for the lowest cost possible.. Coordinate with supply department to incorporate the underground procurement with the current system.

Hard work and experience mean absolutely nothing here!! You only advance or get raises if you're in the "clique" or if you're a "yes man" 
If you are good at your job expect to do more than your fair share and carry those making more money than you do! Extreme micromanagement! Make up the rules as they go! No accountability whatsoever! Good luck! 

Great culture, employees are a high priority. Difficult industry but a company that makes sustainability a high priority. This organization had the most highly skilled teams of any I have ever worked with.

Care is a value for the way they are with their people, quite the opposite - tons ounces and production first.

Track the job postings, they are always hiring for the same positions, my question would be why. Wish I would have before starting there.
