Management didn't care
Temporary spooler of fly fishing line (Former Employee), Midland MI –
Pros: easy job.
Cons: the people i was working with.
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.

This would be an awesome job if I wasn't a contract employee

Pros: usually over-time is always available

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

Too large
Remote Support Analyst (Former Employee), Maplewood, MN –
Pros: it's 3m need i say more ?
Cons: it felt like little it kingdoms, all fighting for supremacy.
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.

Huge company...
Marekting (Current Employee), St Paul, MN –
Pros: pay, job security
Cons: difficult to advance, understaffed groups, long work days, no true days off, stressful, no work/life balance...
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
