Pros

Other than premium pay compared to most MSP employers right now, I don’t see any pros. none. The last few years have been miserable. It may get better, after all if the PFAS litigation is behind. But now, is a pretty terrible place to be.

Cons

The once great culture has been killed. Nothing is resourced, budget is always cut/frozen but expectations are not realigned once budget is reduced. Expectations are ridiculous… if you are in global teams expect to have 6am meetings. Yes, 6am. I understand trying to accommodate our team in China… but when they don’t even join the meeting what is the point of meeting at 6am?!?!?

Pros

The customers like the products

Cons

The nepotism at this company is unreal. Some managers are bully’s and nothing is done about it. Managers whom are drinking buddies with employees get treated well.

Pros

Good pay, benefits and flexibility.

Cons

3M has been waning for years and is no longer the strong, stable company people vie to work for (or want to keep working for). It is a sad they have basically taken the legs out from under thousands of employees who have been loyal, dedicated and productive (and proud to work there). Today, your valued until you not based on the bottom line. Upper Management strategy is throwing darts at the board hoping to save face with their shareholders.
