Pros

Great colleagues who are very co-operative and a lot of things to learn from each job experience. Generally a pleasant place to work in and the management is very willing to share their information from HQ to everyone in the company.

Cons

There are not many cons for this company except the pay may be just average compared to market rates. Also, need to be prepared to hang on a bit longer so that you can reap the rewards from your good performance.

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.
