Pros

Unique technologies create opportunities in niche markets served. For the savy individual it can be very exciting to create new solutions and assist customers to meet their goals and objectives. Very good management. People are great to work with.

Cons

Because of niche, involvement with other operations within company is limited. There is little opportunity for advancement within company at this time.

Pros

Diversity of products. Strong global presence. Ever growing and expanding.

Cons

Unless you work in research and development or manufacturing you will soon be out of a job. Warehousing and logistics operations by 3M are being phased out. 3PL companies are taking over logistics operations for 3M.
