      Pros

      Good pay, 5 word min.

      Cons

      0 work/life balance. They own you and do not hesitate to show it sometimes working 30 days straight. I've personally worked 28 12 hour days in a row. For a company that claims to have some of the brightest people in the business the only answer to a problem they can come up with is more overtime

      Hello, thank you so much for your feedback. As you probably know, because 3M continues to expand, your plant is going through a lot of changes, with the addition of over 100 people and a facility expansion finishing up soon. We sincerely appreciate the extra time you and your fellow employees are dedicating to 3M as your facility goes through these growing pains. Our goal is that once the new facility opens in June, employees’ hours should stabilize, and you will be able to return to having a more normal work schedule. In the meantime, we would encourage you to talk to your plant HR manager, who would be happy to meet with you to further discuss your concerns one on one. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope you are able to return to a more balanced lifestyle soon!

      Good company, but too focused on younger employees

      Pros

      Great pay structure, vacation time earned by years of service. Flexible work hours, great benefits: employee discount programs, 401K, medical insurance, dental, vision. etc.

      Cons

      Work at home is offered, but people that use it are treated negatively. Unfortunately, "butts in seats" is current preference for management. Take a lesson from companies that have employees that really work remotely (IBM, Apple, etc.). Very limited opportunities in Austin for advancement. Too many layoffs in Austin has created extremely bad morale and constantly scared employees. Fear does not create an innovative workplace... Focus of management is retaining younger employees and lay offs of older seasoned workers is commonplace. Performance review structure is archaeic and can be extremely biased.
