I work with some great people, but we aren't given much coherent direction with leadership constantly changing.

Pros

Overall stability and career mobility if you are willing to relocate to St Paul, MN (corp HQ) which have the best opportunities. Since 3M is such a large company, Employee Experience depends on the location and management there, and division and business you report into. The diversity of the products and industries is why there is overall stability. Great benefits including medical and sick pay.

Cons

Large company with lots of hurdles to navigate in order to move things forward. Pay could be better. 3M offers a lot of sick pay but there are those few employees that take advantage of it, while hurting their team and the company.

Pros

In our group the following are evident: Work-life balance. Working smart is encouraged. High level of accountability. Play to win mindset. Creativity is encouraged.

Cons

However not all groups are the same. I see how others are treated unfairly. Some talented people get discouraged and end up leaving. Salary not as competitive. Benefits should be upgraded especially car plans.
