      Pros

      I guess its nice to get all your shifts out of the way cas of the 6-6 work format

      Cons

      Many years ago I worked at 3M and 'failed' my work probation. They offered me the job and I said yes but I had recently broken my knee so I was still in a brace but I could walk around and so, which I informed them of. I turned up and they seemed surprised and did not seem to want me to be there. Its hard a job with long hours and for two of the days I worked there (in two weeks) my trainer was hours late because of her car breaking down. I did the best I could without supervision and with no instructions on what to do while I was waiting. One day we were finished early and my trainer said we could leave the lab early, however, after I clocked out I was told off and not to do it again even though she told me it was ok. I then had a few days off because of the shift pattern, I noticed I had been removed from the group chat, I then messaged my trainer to ask what happened with no reply. A few days later I got a call by the recruitment agency telling me I had been let go, when I asked why they said they would get back to me. After some time I was told I had made mistakes which caused some issues down the pipeline, probably when i was left unsupervised with no instructions on what to do ( it was like my second day too), and that I showed bad work ethic because I clocked out early even though I was explicitly told by my trainer to do so. Considering the crappy wage and awful hours, in hindsight I am glad it happened because my next job was alot better paid and training was fully provided. At the time I was the third person they employed in a few months for that position, I think they expect people to be very good straight away with little guidance and resulted in a high turnover of employees.

      Data Conversion at 3M

      Data conversion manager
      Former employee

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Starting from 2014, 3M built a rigorous process for cleansing and converting data from legacy systems into SAP. This is a unique place to learn how to do data conversion the right way.

      Cons

      3M is currently facing a lot of financial pressure. The data conversion team has been downsized repeatedly, and team members are stretched thin.

      Good Employee Benefits, Less than Ideal Location

      Manufacturing engineer
      Former employee
      Nevada, MO
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great health insurance, time off, disability, etc. Operators at the plant are friendly and easy to get along with, most people understand that the younger engineers move around a lot.

      Cons

      Process and Product Engineers tend to have a lot of overtime during night hours or early mornings when you get calls from operators and they need help (this is unpaid of course). Additionally, if there are new product trials, you will need to put in a lot of extra hours that cut into personal time or rest hours. 3M also places new engineers right out of college into the more undesirable locations, which means that not many people stick around for long.
