MOUNT POLLEY MINING CORPORATION

Had a great time when I was last there. You might not get recognized for working hard for all the others trying to take the credit. Constant reminders of how seniority and time protected union will beat you down. A small group of back stabbing mill ops. Highly opinionated on there way and your way is wrong. But overall a good day and enjoy the environment. The best people you will meet are the ones doing the job and not standing around telling stories about the easy way to do it.
If you get past the new ways of HR and past the selective testing, you will love it.

Productive operation with allot of emphasis on being capable to work independently.
Work was environment friendly and supportive.
Timely completion of work was most important due to production restraint.
Reporting to production management and keeping communication was a essential to maintain supply of material, safety and maintenance at acceptable levels.
Being ready and prepared to maintain production and safety related installations and equipment operational.
Enjoying trust and appreciation of fellow employees and management.

Working at Mount Polley was rewarding in that I learned to adapt to a very harsh and challenging work place. The hours were long and the job was relatively demanding, but the compensation was good and once you got used to the hours it was merely second nature. The training was good. The bosses generally let you go about your day without being too demanding. Overall it was a fun experience.

I was employed by Mt Polley for 8 years. Even though there were 300 people working there is seemed to have a family atmosphere. 95% of the people were phenomenal to get along with with only a handful not so easy and a couple of idiots.
 The mine manager always looked to promote from with in the staff onsite.

i enjoyed my 13 years at mount polley. it was a great place to work  i enjoyed the people and I enjoyed operating the different drills  i loved to learn all the skills I acquired over the years  it was a fun and uplifting place to work.  I would work there for ever if the mine life would last longer but unfortunately its near the end of its life and I must move on and find another mine to finish my career .

My department was awesome! However, the upper management was borderline abusive... Enjoyed working with my crew (They were great to get along with!). Imperial Metals, as a company, is not even remotely a decent company to their employees, and plan never to work for them again... Too bad, as the workers on the floor were the only reason the place stayed afloat as long as it did...

What is the best part of working at the company?
Going home after a horrible day.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything is the most stressful part.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Every man and woman for themselves.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is filled with horrible managment.

Great employees who always got the job done and made it enjoyable. If you had questions others had answers which made it an environment of constant learning. Long commute in from Williams Lake was the only downside. The mine is in a beautiful location and the city has lots to offer if you like your outdoors!

Coming from treeplanting to mining was a big adjustment.  Everything to do with tree planting was peice work, efficiency being the most important quality. Mining was a union position and was more about negotiating the bureaucracy.

Your co workers are the only thing that make you want to show up every day. 
Thats you C crew. 
Lots of lip service from management, all lies. 
Very VERY old equipment. Always broke down. Junk seats in equipment. 
They preach safety but don't follow up. 
Good spot to get some experience then go to a real mine.
