Pros

Good pay, 5 word min.

Cons

0 work/life balance. They own you and do not hesitate to show it sometimes working 30 days straight. I've personally worked 28 12 hour days in a row. For a company that claims to have some of the brightest people in the business the only answer to a problem they can come up with is more overtime

Hello, thank you so much for your feedback. As you probably know, because 3M continues to expand, your plant is going through a lot of changes, with the addition of over 100 people and a facility expansion finishing up soon. We sincerely appreciate the extra time you and your fellow employees are dedicating to 3M as your facility goes through these growing pains. Our goal is that once the new facility opens in June, employees’ hours should stabilize, and you will be able to return to having a more normal work schedule. In the meantime, we would encourage you to talk to your plant HR manager, who would be happy to meet with you to further discuss your concerns one on one. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope you are able to return to a more balanced lifestyle soon!

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and time off

Cons

The IT org is constantly going through layoffs. The work is going to managed service providers in India. The whole process is clown shoes. They are letting people go that have been here for 20+ years that have so much knowledge and expect to transfer it over to workers who are extremely siloed, who might not even be around in 6 months(the retention rate for this particular MSP is abysmal). These workers are not even dedicated to 3M, they have many other projects. I’m concerned for 3M’s IT future. Walking over dollars to pick up pennies
