Pros

Good work life balance. Low pressure to deliver results Freedom to perform at the level you wish to.

Cons

Must absolutely find a 'godfather' to secure your career progression very internal focused so you'll need lots of energy to work internally Decision making far too slow, nothing is ever decided the 1st time it is shown to management

Pros

Management compensation is very competitive. Benefits are excellent for management and 401k match is currently(2010) 75%. Lafarge is a global company, willing to relocate valuable personnel.

Cons

Mining is stressful and the current top-down business approach from France is strangling the life out of all workers, both salaried and hourly.
