Pros

1) 3M is a Fortune 500 Company and has a track record of success in manufacturing 2) 3M has numerous products and technology platforms 3) Employees have the ability to try different roles within a manufacturing site and within the company

Cons

1) 3M has over 70 manufacturing sites in the US, and the vast majority of them are in rural locations. Most people would prefer to be in an urban/suburban area. In addition, the rural sites seem to get less attention and are neglected. 2)3M has went through restructuring around the time of the pandemic (2021) and has reduced headcount to a point where each role now has about 1.25 - 2 times the amount of work. In addition, there are so few people that there is not really an established on call system or back up system. 3) 3M Optimized Operations (rotational program) is a scam. This rotational program is advertised as an opportunity to work on projects and get experience at various 3M sites. In reality, this program is used as a tool to hire engineers for job req's that are not being filled (less desirable locations for instance).
