I worked as an information technology technician for two summers. I woke up at 5am and car pooled to the mine with my father and four other miners.  Worked from 6:30am until 3:30pm.

It was a highly social job. I was always in contact with different employees in every department at the mine. I worked in the main office building with managers, engineers, technicians, technologist, geologists, blasters, electrical, surveyors, and I was always learning something new each day. I enjoyed this probably the most because the mining industry is a very complex and interesting field.

It was a rough neck and intellectual work environment that I thourougly enjoyed being a part of for two summers.

To bad zero star is not a option. You would think that you could go to work in a safe work environment but not at Glencore. Harassment and bullying is the daily norm coming from upper management and foremans.  Production come first before safety and workers are always under threat of being fired. Constantly lying to Worksafe NB and covering up accident. mentally and physically exhausting. extremely toxic environment (Thallium , Lead, Arsenic) and mercury but will tell you we dont have any in the plant STAY AWAY FROM GLENCORE is the best advice i can give
