Pros

Very simple work flow: Picking pallets is not difficult and becomes muscle memory fairly quickly. The longer you're there and the more you prove your ability, you'll be put into other job functions that are easier/less physically taxing. If you want to make a career out of this, 3M is almost always hiring internally. Most people in a Lead position or in the office started out as a Picker.

Cons

Forced overtime. This could be considered a pro by some but if you value your free time then it probably isn't.
