Pros

Great pay for the lack of work you do. There isn't a difficult job in the entire facility.

Cons

Management is a perfect example of the Peter Principle. Most of them have no idea what they're doing but if you give a suggestion, they punish you for it. Two weeks later, that suggestion you gave them becomes their big bright idea. They also cycle through plant managers every couple years due to it being a launching pad for a bigger, heftier paycheck. They find any way to show how well they can save the company money any way they can. The last one took a few jobs from $20 hr to $11.60. We are all just numbers to them.

Pros

Great products and brand recognition. There are a lot of smart people that love to transfer knowledge. If you want to learn, 3M is a great place for you.

Cons

The culture has changed with the new CEO. The company became more aggressive towards driving revenue versus making innovative products. Also, many people have been upset with the end of remote work.
