3M Assistant Machine Operator reviews

Usual ups and downs for factories. Right now we're in a slow period so no overtime or new hires. Temps are treated as temps. Pay scales make no sense and are not based on department rather than technical skill. Depending on what department you're assigned to at the beginning your starting pay could be mediocre (for mentally demanding work) or excellent (for easy work). Attendance policy is ultra-aggressive. If you're late, even 1 minute, 3 times in your first 6 months you're fired. With this company it's essential to have amazing transportation. No sick pay - you call in, you get a point. No ifs, ands, or buts. If you quit or get fired at some point during the year you have to pay back any vacation you've used but haven't "earned".

No life outside of work. Too much overtime and it's mandatory. Management is absolutely disgusting. Whole upper management is disorganized and not professional. This plant is all based on who you know and or who you are sleeping with. Plenty of qualified and dedicated people passed over for jobs so upper management has their buddies. There favorite saying here is corporate does not care about them so they can do what they want. Glad I retired and left. Everything went downhill after.
