I would definitely consider working at ARLP. They offer fair wages and wonderful benefits. Here is just a few of the benefits posted on the company's web-site.
Benefits
Alliance offers an attractive benefit plan that is very competitive compared with both the coal industry and the job market as a whole. We feel that our benefit package is above the standards set by many of our union-dominated competitors. Our workforce is entirely union-free.
Our benefit plan was recognized for its innovation by the Southwest Benefits Administrators Association, receiving that group's Best in Class, Welfare Program Award. During 2008, our benefit plan was named among the top 10 percent of active employee benefit plans by Cammock’s Inc., an independent coal industry benefit survey organization. We also were honored as 2008 Business of the Year in Hopkins County, Kentucky, based on Alliance's job creation in the area and our contributions to the community.
We are proud to offer on-site medical clinics for our employees and their families, offering free care and over-the-counter medicines as well as assistance in managing and reducing their risk for certain illnesses. For more information on this program, click here.
We also support life-enhancement opportunities through educational initiatives, employee education reimbursement, matching gift programs, short-term and long-term bonus incentives, and a generous profit-sharing and savings plan. Our 401(k) plan has more features, greater employee deferral, and higher employer contribution levels than the vast majority of our peers in the coal industry and other similarly-sized companies.
In an effort to help our employees make the most of our benefit plan, we offer a web-based benefit-management system. This system, available at www.coalbenefits.com, allows any employee to review and make changes to his or her benefit coverage electronically. The system also provides employees with easy access to commonly used forms and relevant information about medical benefits, prescription drugs, spending accounts, family and career changes, and profit sharing and savings plans.
If you look at River View's expenses you will notice that 50% of their expenses goes into benefits for their employees. Their employees truly get paid for their effort and hard work.
