Pros
Great company to work for back in the 1970's and 80's and 90's... Back in the day we had excellent supervisors who were promoted from within... Building OEM machines was smooth and fast.. We built 40 + miners and 60 +shuttle cars every month. Plus a Mope Beach Powell machine..
Cons
Today it is very rare that a good employee is promoted from within.. The new Joy policy is to hire college grads for salaried positions, instead of promoting from within. These grads come on board and have no idea what a mining machine is or how to build it.. Today Joy Mining is full of supervisors who are there just for the money.. Thank god the shop workers know how to build the machines.. If it was not for the knowledge of the shop workers this company would have never been number #1..
