Pros

- The pay is decent. - Many production employees are smart and kind. They make the job worthwhile. - The work itself is easy. The challenging part is navigating the stubborn, lazy, or those who simply do not care (why do they work here?).

Cons

- Quality has taken a back seat to speed. - Lower and middle management are not held accountable for shipping poor product, nor ensuring operators are trained properly and with consistency (contrary to the perception from upper management). - The strongest production employees are not usually selected for development and advancement. Same goes for salaried into management roles.

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
