Pros

Great benefits and compensation. Great options to buy 3M stocks. Overall the company is good and if you get an opportunity to work at MN headquarters or bigger branch, it will be a great opportunity to work, learn and grow.

Cons

3M Northridge facility is smaller than their other locations with limited growth and very limited learning opportunity. Terrible management. Employees perform redundant jobs everyday with no motivation or encouragement.
