Strengths of Freeport-McMoRan


Our organization has so many strengths.  The core values are all about honesty, fairness, respect, trust, and integrity.  Freeport-McMoRan is successful because they recognize the importance of their employees, teamwork, and commitment to hard work, safe and environmentally sensitive operations, and caring also for their communities.
The company has a Principles of Business Conduct to guide employees with on a daily basis.  It’s committed to the highest level of ethical and legal conduct of its business operations.  The company conducts business all over the world.  It does not tolerate any type of drug or alcohol abuse, and promotes a safe work environment performing pre-employment/for cause/random drug testing in accordance with the law.

Freeport-McMoRan also has a great educational assistance program that offers up to $5,200 yearly educational reimbursement.  Further, they have a great intern program for students in many different job positions.
They believe in environmental obligations, human rights, and one of the most importance strengths the company has is an open-door culture and policy.  Meaning, you can feel free to openly discuss any questions or concerns regarding any issues.  This open communication is vital to the growth as employees, a team and a company.

There is actually not one thing that I can think of at the moment that I would change or do differently if I was in charge of a similar organization.  The only negative thing is that most mining employment is in remote towns and traveling back and forth to the city can be very tiring and time consuming, but for the most part it can also be positive not having long commutes dealing with traffic.
