Pros

Interesting products and nice colleagues. 3M is a large company with opportunities all over the world.

Cons

Unfortunately are these opportunities only for a small selection of candidates bearing the name "high potential". The Employee Contribution & Development Process they use to determine your salary increase is not transparent and subject to nepotism.

Pros

This job is great experience for science undergrads. Sometimes you end up doing your boss' grunt work, but it pays pretty good for a part time job and they treat you well.

Cons

You will do the same thing over, and over, and over again. Depending on your placement, you may or may not be doing something relevant to your education.

Pros

Flexibility of management to time off requests. 3M has a vast amount of resources with a ton of products giving you the opportunity to work with all kinds of products/business channels.

Cons

As a contract employee you recieve no PTO, no benefits, nothing. Also, salaries are slightly lower than if you were an actual 3M empployee, which is backwards to most. Most companies pay professional contract emplloyees slightly higher becuase they don't have to pay them PTO & benefits.
