Cliquey and low pay - Mechanic Elk Valley Resources Employee Review

Pros

Easy going shop, some good co workers, good place to get mining experience before going north

Cons

Low pay for the trade and hours put in.Can make $$$ more in the shops in Lethbridge, Calgary, cranbrook etc and be home every night.Tasks and promotions are more orientated towards cliques/ friends groups rather than knowledge or experience. Doesn’t matter if you have 10+ years experience in the trade. You can be stuck doing the more boring mundane tasks and skipped for training or promotions as it is more clique orientated. Unless you live in sparwood and ingrained with the people who work there I would recommend skipping this company.
