Pros

They talk the talk on progressive engagement within the 3M organization and 3M communities. Comp is good. You won’t find smarter colleagues anywhere.

Cons

Currently the company seems to be in a state of disarray across multiple litigation concerns, slowing sales in key segments, and a pending spin-off of its health care business. Layoffs are in-motion and attrition feels constant. It’s a big place, and projects that feel important may be slowed by bureaucracy or lack of support.

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.
