Pros

Flexibility of management to time off requests. 3M has a vast amount of resources with a ton of products giving you the opportunity to work with all kinds of products/business channels.

Cons

As a contract employee you recieve no PTO, no benefits, nothing. Also, salaries are slightly lower than if you were an actual 3M empployee, which is backwards to most. Most companies pay professional contract emplloyees slightly higher becuase they don't have to pay them PTO & benefits.

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.
