Pros

Flexible work schedule, great people, most salaried people work a 40 hr week (not a crazy 50-60 hr week), it's interesting - 3M makes a huge variety of things in different industries, most people work at 3M for their entire career (30, 40 or even 50 years), it's easy to move amongst job functions and divisions to find the right career for you, the benefits are great.

Cons

As so many people work at 3M for their entire career, coming in mid-career from the outside is difficult - your previous experience is discounted. The salary is average.

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.
