      Going the wrong direction

      Pros

      Pay and Benefits are good.

      Cons

      Complete disconnect between management and employees. Work/Life balance is nonexistent. Expect to work weekends, holidays, and extra hours due to chronic attendance problems and understaffing. If you have a family, you probably won't for much longer. This company is very top heavy. There are a lot of "management" positions that serve no real purpose. New hires are lied to about the working environment and amount of hours required and many leave before being fully trained, resulting in being chronically understaffed. Good work is not recognized meaningfully. Equipment and employees are being run into the ground via lack of maintenance and overwork.

      Frustrating and disappointing

      Pros

      Some good products and great benefits

      Cons

      Pompous, arrogant, and far too many "managers" who add nothing to the bottom line, but pound on those who do. Good products, but seriously over-priced. 3M had no problem raising the price many times on numerous products as the financial crunch of 2007-08 was impacting businesses, thinking their sales would not be affected much. They lost many long-time customers just because of the insulting arrogance of doing so. It's a reflection of the mentality of the leadership of this company.
