Pros

Pretty good benefits is the only pro

Cons

They have a quota system to put females into management, qualified or not. This has made for a very hostile environment. The females that have earned their way are just as mad as the males regarding this situation. Then foreigners are also brought into the US and promptly prompted over very qualified US workers. Visas for Rio Tinto should be investigated.

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.
