Pros

Rio Tinto has the best benefit package I've ever seen. Salaries and bonuses are at or above market. Very intelligent & motivated people work for Rio Tinto, which makes it a great environment to work in.

Cons

Work life balance is not always the best. There are a lot of deadlines, high expectations to produce quality results, with limited resources at times. Hard to get hired by Rio Tinto unless you are an engineer or unless you start at the bottom and work your way up.

Pros

Benefits are fantastic, employee share program, inexpensive insurance options with generous HSA contributions ($3000 per year), ample opportunities for career growth for those willing to relocate (internationally sometimes)

Cons

Mining is cyclic, layoffs are always a looming threat, depending on role 50-60 hr work week is common

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.
