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.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
