Safety is worker focussed

Underground Loader operator (Former Employee) - Mount Isa QLD - 22 September 2022

The company places a high focus on safety, and a higher focus on the individual being responsible for their own safety. If you get hurt because of something you did wrong, then there's no sympathy from the company. But if you get hurt from equipment failure

Pros

Even time roster

Cons

Working underground is not for everyone

Good pay but unhealthy lifestyle

Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Rolleston QLD - 28 May 2022

Excellent pay being the mining business, but living in a camp with lots of 40 year old men in the middle of nowhere isn't the best life. Most people are just there for the pay, and knowing someone in the business really helps to get a job there.

No vision, no work ethics, full of politics, no team work, back biting , Pathetic !

IT (Former Employee) - Mount Isa QLD - 27 March 2021

Work culture is very very toxic !From top to bottom everyone is playing role in making the culture toxic.Management inclusive at Mount Isa Mines knows every thing and they are part of the politics. It took me one year to leave that toxic work place, only because they get you to work at least one year otherwise you will have to pay the relocation cost. And this problem is not only in one department, its across the board in Mount Isa Mines.

Pros

Rdo

Cons

Toxic culture, work politics back biting, no team approach.

Jobs at Glencore

Maintenance Supervisor

Superintendent - Human Resources

Darwin NT

unproductive and backstabbing environment

Engineering Manager (Former Employee) - Collinsville QLD - 12 February 2020

There were a few good people who worked hard, gave a lot and were an asset to the business. Unfortunately, most managers were absolutely incompetent or lacked moral fiber and tried to take the credit when in actual fact their skill set was limited, management skills dismal. Rather wanted drones than competent staff under them.

Pros

Leaving

Cons

paid for 8hrs, wanted 12 hr days
