Pros

Some good products and great benefits

Cons

Pompous, arrogant, and far too many "managers" who add nothing to the bottom line, but pound on those who do. Good products, but seriously over-priced. 3M had no problem raising the price many times on numerous products as the financial crunch of 2007-08 was impacting businesses, thinking their sales would not be affected much. They lost many long-time customers just because of the insulting arrogance of doing so. It's a reflection of the mentality of the leadership of this company.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
