      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Part of larger 3M Company therefore stable, blue chip Excellent market share for primary product and business model Friendly, cooperative culture Employees are generally very satisfied and turnover is minimal Benefits excellent, salaries average Complex business means constant learning opportunities Easy to excel in individual performance compared to average employees Relationships with almost all hospitals and state health departments in the U.S. Global business is promising

      Cons

      Small layoffs have become standard to improve bottom line (sometimes a pro to shed certain positions) Leadership in general are not industry experts and some are not competent Software is not advanced technology, no CIO to lead the coordination Opportunity for advancement very limited due to size of division Policy on working remote is not consistent and penalizes some positions Business units work in silos and duplication is accepted Acquisitions not integrated well Excessive time spent on corporate demands for reporting
