Pros

Pay. They let you do your job. Little micro-managing. Good sales and employee support. Excellent benefits.

Cons

You will advance if you are willing to move and relocate. Your job is as good as your manager. Very HIGH turn-over in middle management. They make business decisions based on bottom lines without regard to employees. Rely a lot on Six Sigma and the latest "cost savings program" and sometimes completely for-go common sense. Company is SLOW to move with modern technology. It's like moving the TITANIC.

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
