3M Production Work - Hutchinson - Production Worker 3M Employee Review

Very poor work/life balance. You are expected to work when they want you to. Work scheduling can change depending on "business needs!" Expect anything from rotating shift work days-afternoons-nights, to alternating 12's going from days to nights twice per week. They claim to be "health oriented" but fail when it comes to understanding health consequences of alternating days/nights and lots of overtime. Mandatory overtime often means long stretches of work without a day off, but this depends on the area and time of year. Do not be expect to be recognized for achievements. The smallest policy violations can lead to poor reviews which inhibit your ability to advance and there is no appeals process that represents the employee. If you disagree with management decisions, an HR rep is assigned to represent you in the process and you are not allowed to attend the appeals decision meetings to speak for yourself. Input from supervisors and managers take precedence over that of employees. The investigation process is extremely biased toward management and does not function objectively. College tuition reimbursement DOES NOT APPLY to production workers.
