Warrior Met Coal, Inc.

I left a good job to work at Warrior Met's No. 5 Prep plant.  Before I had worked even 2 months, we were "idle" 1 week (no pay).  Three days after returning from the "idle" week we were permanently laid-off when upper-management decided to eliminate a shift.  This was very poor planning by executive decision-makers which impacted several employees.  We left good jobs, one person had resigned from his prior employer but never got to work a day for Warrior Met before being told not to report for work.  We were offered a chance to work underground but I was concerned that if planning was this poor, really how concerned is the Company about the safety and well-being of their employees?  This Company is a gamble for anyone considering a long-term position with job security.  The former owners would not have hired employees without having a valid long-term plan. This disrupted the livelihood of several good people and their families.

Warrior met coal has a broken workforce and a lot of under qualified management. You WORK FOR this company, there is no relationship between you and your employer. Under staffed with unreal expectations with how long it takes to accomplish tasks. Just get it done!!! No prep, no planing. Send you to perform a task and the tools and equipment you need to complete the task are not even on the property. There salary schedule if more of a guideline of when you have to be at work. If the mine manager wakes up on the wrong side of the bed you might see something posted that says work til further notice. And the only reason this happens is because upper management has buried themselves to the point they need bailed out BY YOU!!! And god for bit an operator damages equipment, they suspend the foreman not the operator. If you are a person who thrives to be disappointed and who loves to fail everyday, this is your place to be. If not do yourself a favor and scroll on to the next thing that catches your eye.

I felt like a number when I worked there. I doubt the mine manager even knew my name. I did have great bosses that were directly above me. HR was good to me. Worked 7 days a week if not more a lot of the times. Didn’t have much of a life outside of work. The pay and benefits are a lot less then other mines in the area. I started out at the same pay as I did 10 years ago. We were all lied to about a end of the year bonus that was supposed to be $2500 and was told they made a clerical error and only gave us $1000. We were also told that we wasn’t worth the wages that we were currently being paid.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Experiencing something that I never thought about doing going underground

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great and they will work with the best way they can

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Running a crew of guys and getting the job done in a timely manner

Pay is great esp now that they want the union out... They are even giving free ice cream daily and free catered food every Tuesday fr your fave local restaurant! Don't let that fool you if you aren't one of them or in their circle or if you fall out they will do everything in their power to push you out. EVEN if your the ONLY 1 person that works your butt off shows up and does what your supposed to. Their more afraid of losing their paycheck than doing what's right!!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesome they have all kinds of people working here!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You work. You get paid for a hard days work! It’s coal mining people it ain’t easy.

Lowest paid underground mine with the worst benefits and off time out of all the mines in Alabama..... if your going to go underground go to oak grove or shoal creek better pay and benefits with a better off  schedule.. if you miss 4 days don’t matter what it is or what you had to do Your fired at wmc don’t get vacation for a year and if your Year hire date is after January the next year when your able to get vacation it will be prorated so you might get 5days

This company will work you like a barred mule and only they reap the benefits. You never see your family. They can and will make you work 7 days a week. You risk your life every single day so they can get rich and you can make almost what a burger flipper makes now. Breathing in stuff that gives you cancer, wading around in water in the gassiest mine in North America..It’s pathetic. Do yourself a favor and go on down the road to Oak grove (Murray) at least they pay their employees a decent wage. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pulling all the knifes out your back when you leave daily

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Worrying about who wants your job that day

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Liars and people trying to make each other look bad so they can look good

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nothing I quit I got tired of all the men that act like women there

I have worked at the company for 12 years and it was a great company until the current group of investors bought it . Management treats employees like they are property. You get curses out by your bosses but if you talk back you will be fired. Safety is an afterthought. The only thing that matters is coal
