Pros

Technology company with a fascinating and constantly-evolving product line Smart employees who are creative problem solvers Excellent work-life balance, as 3M wants you to be able to at least consider spending your entire career there Potential for international travel and assigments

Cons

There can be a lot of bureaucracy, as with any large multi-national company Loyalty to their employees sometimes extends too far, and so they are very reluctant to fire low-performers Don't always seem to value experience outside 3M

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.
