Is a "Good Ol' Boys Club", no female management what so ever at our place, very, very low morale - plant-wide. - Manufacturing Technician 3M Employee Review

Pros

Good pay, Good benefits, Nice company store.

Cons

Plant-wide low morale, very depressed workforce. Working 12-16 hours is the norm, and the weekends which we all used to live for, mean nothing to management, however, they have the weekends and nights off. Mandatory "Southern Swing" implemented in plant, however, upper management is not included, of course. Claim "hiring freeze" and are really, honestly, working the life out of our employees. Many, many employees are now on antidepressants, and many whom were forced onto the rotating swing shift, have suffered drastic and devastating quality of life problems, including divorce. I wonder if they are trying to force out the employees whom still believe that they deserve respect and keep the ones whom are willing to bend in any way to keep their jobs? I am confused and saddeneed to watch this occur. Having 3M purchase our facility as an "acquisition" was one of the worst things that has ever happened to many of us at this facility.

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.
