Pros

If you get into their stock purchase plan, good for you. 3M is into so many different areas their stock is like it's own mutual fund.

Cons

Way, way, way too much overtime. I've been with this company for 15 years, but since 3M bought us about 3 years ago, everything has gone downhill. We work so much OT that the quality of what we make is dreadful. How can it be otherwise when employees are walking around like zombies? We get out of bed, come to work, go home and back to bed and then repeat it all the next day. There is no time for anything else in life. The average employee means nothing to management and I guess the customers don't mean anything to them either if they're willing to lower the quality of our merchandise this much.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and time off

Cons

The IT org is constantly going through layoffs. The work is going to managed service providers in India. The whole process is clown shoes. They are letting people go that have been here for 20+ years that have so much knowledge and expect to transfer it over to workers who are extremely siloed, who might not even be around in 6 months(the retention rate for this particular MSP is abysmal). These workers are not even dedicated to 3M, they have many other projects. I’m concerned for 3M’s IT future. Walking over dollars to pick up pennies
