Pros

Excellent Benefits. Free to be comfortable in your work environment (inclusive). They pay you just enough so that you don't leave.

Cons

Recent management changes have made things difficult. People who have many years with the company are becoming frustrated and are either retiring or leaving the organization. The wrong people get promoted and put into roles that they cannot handle; meanwhile the people who want those opportunities that would excel in them aren't even considered. Nepotism is big in the 3M Plants. Everyone is related to someone some how. This tends to make things unfair. Some unethical HR Professionals You apply for internal jobs and nobody even responds to you even when you email them to touch base.

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
