    Very limited opportunities
    The good thingsNot very many things to list here, the "perks" are pretty standard across the industry, and not unique to South32.
    The challengesMany....... absolutely no career progression, think of South32 as a career stepping stone, get in and out as quickly as possible recommend 18 months maximum.

    coworkers great, bosses are not very professional
    The good thingsGood coworkers, always willing to help each other out
    The challengesunderstaffed with high pressure put on the few people there. lack of organisation and people skills from supervision. always a struggle to get anything organised. Vehicles often unsafe to operate and higher ups play the blame game when issues are raised instead of looking into solutions
