Pros

Great health insurance, time off, disability, etc. Operators at the plant are friendly and easy to get along with, most people understand that the younger engineers move around a lot.

Cons

Process and Product Engineers tend to have a lot of overtime during night hours or early mornings when you get calls from operators and they need help (this is unpaid of course). Additionally, if there are new product trials, you will need to put in a lot of extra hours that cut into personal time or rest hours. 3M also places new engineers right out of college into the more undesirable locations, which means that not many people stick around for long.
