Pros

Solid company for a broad starting experience base. Nothing about the company screams excitement, but it is definitely a solid place to be a part of and stay at. For the practical purpose of generating income and experience, 3M does the job. But the overall culture and drive is less felt company-wide and more dependent on the specific division and group.

Cons

2 weeks vacation time to start, only increasing to 3 weeks after 4 years of employment. 3M is known for it’s nepotism.

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.
