Pros

Base pay is really good and so is the RRSP plan. Variable pay sucks.

Cons

3M was great. USAC is a new restructuring where the US eliminated resourcing for Canada and killed its high performing culture. As a result all the good talent left. Zero local upward mobility and stagnant wages. US has this astonishing combination of useless meetings and endless spinning of tires for approvals to do anything, but at the same time offering no support or real care for the Canadian business. Competitors in Canada are starting to eat 3M alive because of the lack of focus locally. It’s really too bad because before this restructure it was a different company. Sales professionals look elsewhere, there are better opportunities as there is zero incentive to outperform anymore.

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.
