Pros

Great health/stock benefits, on site health center, usually can get free /discounted products. Cafeteria was recently remodeled and has great offerings.

Cons

Horrific technology, incompetent leaders, threatening & unsafe office environment, zero development potential if in consumer supply chain business . Office environment was grimy, dirty and disgusting, appeared as if it hadn’t seen a refresh since the 70s. Technology was a joke, phone system incredibly outdated, my old school tube computer monitor (not flatscreen) had scratches all over the screen to where I could only use the top 1/3, my keyboard was missing keys- management refused to upgrade either because ‘I had a laptop’. Education reimbursement policy was department by department & they refused to pay anything towards my MBA. (Even though verbal promises had been issued) Also would not let you transfer within the company unless you found someone willing to ‘switch’ with you. I was harassed and threatened daily for 2 years by an employee nearing retirement age - this employee was an extreme under performer and would frequently blame failures on me, (we weren’t even in the same department) but management refused to address due to political & age discrimination fears. I involved management of both departments, Human Resources & employee assistance group - no one wanted to get involved but all said ‘this is a known problem’.

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
