However, there are some potential challenges, including management approaches that some employees feel could be more supportive and people-focused. Career progression opportunities may be limited in some areas, and there can be workplace politics at management levels. The organisational structure can be complex with frequent changes, and some employees feel that base salaries could be more competitive with other mining companies.
