      What is a typical working day like at 3M?

      3M reviews

      A good company, going through a lot of changes

      Manufacturing supervisor
      Current employee
      Greenville, SC
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits. Room for promotions. Despite its shortcomings, still a pretty decent place to work

      Cons

      The work schedule is an atrocious swing shift that has us changing sleep patterns every few days from day shift to night shift. Heavily micro-managed at times

      Great Company Culture

      Operations supervisor
      Former employee
      Cincinnati, OH
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The company culture was awesome!

      Cons

      Rotating 12 hour night shift was a difficult schedule.

      Company Culture

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Inclusive culture, results focus and pays competitively

      Cons

      Big shift to area and global initiatives and hence more opportunities are given to employees in US, Japan or Korea where the markets are much larger

      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Schedule designed to make you additional money every other week

      Cons

      Working as a packer at 3M Brookings

      Production packer
      Former temporary employee
      Brookings, SD
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay for temporary work but you don't receive full-time benefits because it is not a full time position.

      Cons

      Rotating shift meaning you have to be ready to wakeup at 3AM one week or 4PM the next week.

      Not bad

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and coworkers were friendly

      Cons

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good pay, and friendly coworkers

      Horrible training program, supervisors were never on the floor, and not enough shift leads to actually help everyone who needed help
