3M reviews

Only those with great polishing skills will be in the good books of the top management. Red tape approval on simpliest consumer promotion acivities. Terrible place to work for those with FMCG experience. YOu will loose your FMCG skill sets. Penny wise Pound foolish investment strategy. 3M finds reasons to make you redundant or terminate you once you are not in their good books. Consumer group employee average tenure is 6 months to 1 year before they leave the company or gets booted out of the company. 3M terminates your service when economic downturn comes around. Every single downturn they have terminated people.

If you're male and white, you're in heaven here. If you're not both, it's an exercise in futility. Save your time and your sanity. If you're black, you will never go anywhere here. There are virtually no black executives, almost no black middle managers, virtually no black representation even in human resources and/or "diversity management". There are no diversity initiatives. Equal pay for equal work does not exist, color-wise or gender-wise. Pay for performance does not exist. It's good old boys tapping good old boys on each others' shoulders. If you're particularly talented, you can be sure that you will be kept buried and muzzled deep within the bowels of the organization. Frustration and/or exit are the only logical results.
