Just a note to anyone interested in working at Pogo. They hire from all over the US including the lower 48. You can fill out an application on the internet. People that live in the lower 48 usually work a month and off two weeks. After three promotions (usually years) you can work two weeks on and two weeks off if you want a pay cut. They feed everyone great and each person has their own room.
Mill operators usually start as laborers and graduate to mill operators after a six month trial period. If you have any questions, I try to answer them.
