Pros

Great exposure to many different industries. Wonderful co-workers. Excellent focus on product development.

Cons

Slow to promote. There are days when time stands still at 3M. It's challenging to stand out when middle managers are distracted with their own workloads and rely heavily on performance review forms. I think things will begin to change towards modernization when the people on the old pensions retire.

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.
