Pros

Not bad salary structure.........if you want to play the game...

Cons

No freedom to speak your mind, as you are told the opposite. Be ready to report where you were today at 3:11pm......painful micromanagement, with managers not secure in their ways....An old boys club, with political backdrop. Throwing under the bus, and back-stabbing by your peers is the norm as they seek advancement, or simply want to 'look better'. The harder you lick, the quicker you advance.No respect for the crew in the field, rather.......monthly beat-downs provided in the shape and form of monthly 'coaching calls' by your manager....usually some guy/girl looking for advancement and see you as a potential threat .

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
