Pros

Good benefits, great if your progressive otherwise not so much. They have rewards for jobs well done but still will not hesitate to use you as the company sees fit. Being transfer or eliminate jobs.

Cons

Too many meetings that yield no results. Poor innovation doing to many things and not doing any of them well. Prices are remaining to high in retail markets . Are not going to be able to compete. Getting rid of experienced workers thinking that will solve there financial turn downs, which is a poor idea. They are laying people off and they are denying it. Beware of excepting employment with them.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and time off

Cons

The IT org is constantly going through layoffs. The work is going to managed service providers in India. The whole process is clown shoes. They are letting people go that have been here for 20+ years that have so much knowledge and expect to transfer it over to workers who are extremely siloed, who might not even be around in 6 months(the retention rate for this particular MSP is abysmal). These workers are not even dedicated to 3M, they have many other projects. I’m concerned for 3M’s IT future. Walking over dollars to pick up pennies
