Pros

If you get into their stock purchase plan, good for you. 3M is into so many different areas their stock is like it's own mutual fund.

Cons

Way, way, way too much overtime. I've been with this company for 15 years, but since 3M bought us about 3 years ago, everything has gone downhill. We work so much OT that the quality of what we make is dreadful. How can it be otherwise when employees are walking around like zombies? We get out of bed, come to work, go home and back to bed and then repeat it all the next day. There is no time for anything else in life. The average employee means nothing to management and I guess the customers don't mean anything to them either if they're willing to lower the quality of our merchandise this much.

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.
