Pros

Work Life Balance Easy Job This review is for the medical side of the business. As with anything, the other vertices may differ drastically

Cons

Moral is horrible. Turnover is high. Marketing company not focused on sales. Changes in direction every year. Lackluster leadership - can’t motivate or inspire. Motivate through fear. Laid off every employee with an exemption. Sexist, boys club. Unprofessional environment. Militaristic pay structure lags behind industry. They hire young interns to replace seasoned reps. Promote through boys club - you will know more than your boss. Reps lack integrity and morals. The company does not focus on the patient. There is no development or professional growth promotions not based on knowledge or work ethic. Be prepared to wear many hats and take on the jobs of others. Customer service was a 10 out of 10 now it is around 1-2 out of 10. The on going “training” is awful - 0 value ad 100% time wasted. The 401k is awful. I could think of more but I’m sure you’ve got the picture by now. If you’re an actual med device rep with determination and drive, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. If you’re looking for the pathway to retirement and would enjoy becoming an administrative assistant - you’ve found your company.

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
