Pros

Talented employees who embrace collaboration and innovation.

Cons

3M Executive management has been hired out from the outside which is gutting out the talent pool. 3M has even resorted to targeting 3M pension savings via targeting close to retirement age employees. Financial engineering has taken priority over fundamentals. 3M values are expected from employees but not followed by the executives who appear to have lost their moral and ethical compass.

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.
