I enjoyed working with 3M. It was a fast paced environment and while I was only there for a short time period, I enjoyed the work and co-workers. Management was very supportive and pay/benefits were as expected.
The con to working at the plant I was employed was I was there for approximately 1 year then learned the plant would be closing.

Degree requied regardless of skill and experience

It seems they require a degree for all IT positions regardless of experience and skill set. Maybe one day they will wakeup to the fact that their hiring practices are flawed.
Great People Great Customers
