Pros

Pay is competitive for the local area. I could make more elsewhere, but it's good for what we do. Benefits etc are at least as good (sometimes better) as other local opportunities. 3M club offers solid extracurricular activities, either company-sponsored or at an attractive discount Excellent coworkers. They screen out the jerks and mentally deficient. Paid time off policy is in line with what you'd get anywhere else, but they require only 24 hours notice if you want a day off. All your vacation is allowed up front.

Cons

Usual ups and downs for factories. Right now we're in a slow period so no overtime or new hires. Temps are treated as temps. Pay scales make no sense and are not based on department rather than technical skill. Depending on what department you're assigned to at the beginning your starting pay could be mediocre (for mentally demanding work) or excellent (for easy work). Attendance policy is ultra-aggressive. If you're late, even 1 minute, 3 times in your first 6 months you're fired. With this company it's essential to have amazing transportation. No sick pay - you call in, you get a point. No ifs, ands, or buts. If you quit or get fired at some point during the year you have to pay back any vacation you've used but haven't "earned".
