If you are a professional person getting an offer to work at Myra Falls, you will want think twice to decide if the juice is really worth the squeeze.  All of the bad things that have been described by others are absolutely true.  The only reason there is a higher rating is because of the sycophants and Nyrstar employees from other countries.  

Every department has been decimated because the incompetent upper management in Switzerland can't get it together and feel the need to micromanage from Europe.  If you like ugly workplaces and can work through the bullying you will experience, then this company is the place for you.  One thing is for sure, you will get yelled at on a daily basis.

This place has chewed up and spit out even the most educated, seasoned, world class professionals with only the worst bullies and slimy backstabbing weasels remaining.  

I work closely with the electricians daily. everyone in are shop gets along great and the support is great. I am responsible for the maintenance and repair of all instruments and control on the floatation floor, paste plant, backfill plant, enviromental and belt scales and the configuration and repair of are DCS system. After are morning safety meeting I am left to complete my duties on my own as I see fit. I report to any calls that need addressing as they occur. It has been an enjoyable place to work but the recent layoff at the mine has been the result of poor planned maintenance by the management team.

Worked there for a year and everyone hates their job and out of 70 staff members had 4 staff over 2 year! HUGE TURN OVER!
Management and HR have no clue what is going on and if you don’t click with higher up you won’t last!
Get into the union they are great! Most of the workers are hard workers!
Not to many positives , and when you count into the bus ride your only making about $22 an hour and you can get that in town and not have a 3.5 hour bus ride where everyone is sick and so many germs!
Good luck to any staff members that think their jobs will last

What is the best part of working at the company?
Your fellow workers, as management is no help what so ever as well as Human Resources.

Dealing with no planning or parts to do repairs 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment was massive confusion. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Either waiting or busy with doing jobs

This mine has been in operations for over 40 years.  It has just recently suspended operations indefinitely.  Management and co-workers need to utilize the work force better and more efficiently.  The hardest part of my job was conveying new ideas to upper management due to directives sent from head office.  The best part of my job was the lunch breaks.

Bullying, fear mongering, poor equipment, union membership is weak, to many paycheque collectors, poor pay, zero recognition from peers. 

Toxic work environment, too much politics between staff and union. Place claims they want to be an employer of choice but then continues to skim off employees paycheques and make you pull teeth to get what’s owed. 

i was asked if i'd like to stay on full time and i declined, the commute was rough and made work life balance very difficult - especially when expected to work at least one weekend out of every month in a monday to friday role. Cant simply step out of the office for appointments or anything, gotta take a whole day off. Pay was good though.

If you enjoy putting safety last working for a company that puts profit over properly doing your job in a safe and effective manner then this is the place for you. 

They pay everyone labor rate then get you to run equiptment and even ru jackleg and stoper for bottom pay it makes the men feel taken advantage of and lowers moral and the negativity spreads

Location is great and you will love the mountains 
. I use to work there in the 00's and found the Union protected too many guys who just didn't want to work.it would be a great place to work without the Union!
