3M Employer Reviews

enjoyed the road, as I was selling copiers, Great company for golf, as the company got me into playing golf.

My day to day duties consisted managing several automotive stores along with Napa & Carquest. Abot 80% of my communication was handled via phone and the other via email. I was responsible for shipping high end automotive products to the automotive stores and making sure they are ordering the proper quanties to get the best pricing. I also monitored – more...  the orders to make sure my customers were getting the specials that 3M had to offer. – less

Company gave me a job for 25 years. Loved the culture, caring for its employees and customers.
Its a shame my division closed up. I would have stayed there till retirement.

It was a good job at 3M Scientific Anglers in Midland MI but the co-workers and supervisors treated you like dirt. If you were a temporary help you were a 3rd world worker. They covered up harassment and swept it under the table.

A bad experience.
Lead by the wrong people.

A typical day was that I vacumed carpets, dusted,swept stairs and floors,emptied trash and recycables,cleaned rest rooms.
Managment was very informative.
I never really seen my co workers cause we worked in different areas of the building alone.

I worked as a MBA consultant for their business development team, it's a wonderful opportunity to learn their business and new market entry project

I take many calls for many different issues and escalate if needed. I usually keeps to myself since I'm on the 24/7 team and I have a different schedule than most other people on my floor. I've learned a lot and value the experience I have from there. The hardest part of the job is when I can't resolve an issue and need to escalate. The most enjoyable – more...  part of the job is when I can fix the issue and the client is happy. – less

Huge company, but maybe too big for it's own sake. Plenty of work to do, but half the time wasn't sure which direction it was coming from and where I was going with it. It maybe the period I was employed by them, new CEO massive re-orgs.

As an innovative and experienced Technology/Business professional, I have successfully formed, led, and managed teams in complex projects and environments including vertical, matrix and virtual organizations and web and eCommerce development.

At 3M HIS’ Technology Leadership Office, I have successfully led and managed the enterprise architecture standards – more...  and direction, as well as lead the architecture governance council initiative for the healthcare division. Our group’s effort revolves around key revenue-generating enterprise software solutions in healthcare. I am also a key member of the Voice of Customer. – less

i didnt like working at 3m because of the way things were operated.

3M is a huge company but most areas are understaffed which causes each employee to have the workload of several people. Most employees end up working 12-14 (or more) hours a day 7 days a week. The benefits are ok and the pay is ok but if you divide it out by the hours worked...well, I wouldn't recommend doing that!
If you go on vacation you have to – more...  work through vacation because most people don't have back ups for their jobs and the work won't wait for you to come back.
Overall I guess it sounds like most companies these days. It's a very stressful work environment that causes work and home-life issues for many many of it's employees. – less

This job was a temporarily position. Got laid off and was asked to go back.

Job security is great. Changes occur all the time for good reasons. Company big on safety, That comes first.

A terrific place to work! The company gave me a terrific opportunity to begin my career in human resources.

If you are looking for a great paying job while attending NIU, there is no better place. Students can attend school in the morning and work in the afternoon.

3M consistently hires and retains the best people to work with in the world. 3M is willing to train and teach the brightest people, something many companies are reluctant to do these days. An amazing experience and an amazing company!

Have worked at 3M for 23 years from June 1 1988 thru Oct 11 2011.
