Pros

This job is great experience for science undergrads. Sometimes you end up doing your boss' grunt work, but it pays pretty good for a part time job and they treat you well.

Cons

You will do the same thing over, and over, and over again. Depending on your placement, you may or may not be doing something relevant to your education.

Pros

Flexibility of management to time off requests. 3M has a vast amount of resources with a ton of products giving you the opportunity to work with all kinds of products/business channels.

Cons

As a contract employee you recieve no PTO, no benefits, nothing. Also, salaries are slightly lower than if you were an actual 3M empployee, which is backwards to most. Most companies pay professional contract emplloyees slightly higher becuase they don't have to pay them PTO & benefits.

Pros

Great opportunities for future growth and career development. Respect given by management, and ability to work to your potential. Team work and great leadership.

Cons

3M is a very large company and can sometimes make it harder to be noticed and recognized for your efforts by upper level management. However, strong effort is made to recognize those who contribute greatly.
