Pays well, but hard to advance in the company

Production operator

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is good for the work that is done. Over time is paid for anything above 40 hours in the week and this contract has double time for Sunday even if Saturday was not worked.

Cons

When hired 10 years ago, was told college and education were supported by the company. However found out when trying to further my education the college courses would not be covered by the company, even though positions were posted within the company that met the courses requested.

Plants in Wroclaw. Good place to work before retirement ;-)

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability, stability, stability. Work safety above local average - but this is standard for U.S. companies in Central Europe. Most of employees are hired permanently and are working years after years without any position or responsibilities changes. For young 3M is conidered locally as a a good middle step in looking for better opportunities. Great work atmosphere in some departments, benefits above average. For innovators nothing to do - despite of declarations, many managers afraid of changes. This is relative small manufacturing operation - you have to realize that a certain level of promotion for share functions or biggest operations are not available here.

Cons

Too far time waste for every simple decisions taking, delays in everything, no any dynamics during changes, many projects and changes implemented only for "show" and to do "something". Goal setting s mainly fiction here. Performance review is inefficient cause too higher level of judging peoples comparing to evaluate level.
