Pros

Great pay 3M has great opportunities if you are willing to move. They have plants all over the country/world. 3M club is great for the family. Semi-flexible work schedule. I feel as long as you are doing your job there is nothing to worry about.

Cons

3M is a large company with a great deal of competition when jobs open up. This makes advancement tougher if you are just starting out. Older hourly folks I speak with are less satisified than they were 15 years ago. But they are getting close to retirement so take that with a grain of salt.

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.
