Pros

3M is a large company, there are many opportunities (depending on your job function) to move around the company. Benefits and pay are good. Amenities at 3M Center (HQ) are great (fitness center, cafeteria, hair salon, pharmacy).

Cons

The company is stuck in it's ways. Unbelievably behind the times. Things are done 'the way 3M has always done them' You waste more time in your day doing everything the hard way (manually) because there are no computer systems robust enough to compete at the level the company tries to compete at. There is an extremely large percentage of people who have been at the company forever and have a 'politics clique' against anyone who challenges their methods or ways of thinking. Management is quick to defend/cover up the errors of long time employees.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
