      Strong Corporate Culture

      Pros

      Flexible work schedules are available depending on your job, not all are grandfathered into this but worth a request. Great Benefit program, employee discounts, good work-life balance but employees must be willing to do their part to make that work, no one is going to hand you the easy button.

      Cons

      Can be challenging to navigate other divisions or business groups if you are not familiar with the structure of that area, hard to get noticed for opportunities if you are not well known.

      Great company, but too many home grown employees who are afraid to challenge management

      Pros

      Great pay, great benefits, great business model. Endless pipeline for development of new products and innovation. Built into its DNA. Excellent corporate resources to utilize and draw from

      Cons

      Long term employees rule the company and have not experienced other workplaces and cultures. This makes it difficult to come into 3M and make a contribution. Employees seem to almost bow down to upper management, and are reluctant to share contrary information in fear of not being seen as a team player. As a transfer from another company, I struggled with this, and eventually left to find a culture that is more open to new ideas.

      Pros

      Diverse company with good opportunity. It was a good position while in college. 3M is a highly regarded company, not much turnover.

      Cons

      Favoritism is apparent in some divisions.
