Pros

Wonderful benefits, educated and professional workforce, opportunity for advancement. Good company with great culture.

Cons

More tenured employees on past pension plan are understandably hesitant to leave (and lose their pension). For these employees, career move options are within 3M only. Many are at higher levels making it more difficult to break out of what they know. Most are knowledgable and great employees but in some cases these people ought to be moving on from what they have been doing. And can't/don't because they are tied to 3M.

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
