Unfair and no chance to speak up

The good things
Smart building and good location except parking - not available
The challenges
Team leaders are kind of another organizer inside the Rio tinto and they don’t care about your hard work- just you need to know people up there to take u on board

3 to 4 years in the role, current employee

A retirement job

The good things
Excellent Sick leave policy, 3 months every year on top of A/L, they don’t tell you this when you start but. No rush to do a job
The challenges
Salary & bonuses could be higher. Out of the big 4 mining companies, it’s below average. However you’re compensated through your Sick leave. Nothing is really hard to do here, just follow the rules & you’ll do fine

1 to 2 years in the role

Disappointed that such a big company has so many cultural issues

The good things
Lots of opportunities within the company to move around, great benefits such as health insurance subsidy, 3 months personal leave, share matching scheme
The challenges
Culture wasn't great, lots of disrespect between leaders and their subordinates (can give multiple examples of what I witnessed). Report things and HR sweeps it under the carpet.

Give it a miss if you can. Not a nice bunch of people

The good things
Some good people on the floor.
The challenges
Inexperienced supervisors. Purple circle culture. Pretty much a toxic culture all round.
