Pros

Legacy of science and technology that’s yielded innovative products. Technology is utilized across multiple product portfolios creating leverage. Supply Chain footprint allows for scale. Committed employees called 3M’ers are loyalist. Customers historically have valued and depended on 3M products to advance their businesses, products and home needs.

Cons

Company continues to underperform (stock price at 8 year low) with frequent organizational, strategy and priority changes. On-going senior leadership changes make for a lack of continuity, Internal malalignment has a cascading affect on organizational moral, effectiveness and productivity. Company is losing customer loyalty due to inability to met demand and service levels. Company has significant environmental (everlasting chemicals) and product litigation risk.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
