Good company to work for

Pros

Pay is competitive on a regional scale, average on a national scale. It's a good work environment, and the company supports innovation.

Cons

Too bogged down by corporate policy and bureaucracy. It's almost impossible to get rid of employees who don't make any real contribution to the company.

Pros

Good pay Good benefits (with pension) Discount to 3M products

Cons

Long hours, constant deadlines Phasing out benefits year on year (no more 401K matches with company stock, just cash), and no more medical/dental retiree benefit Management confidence in leadership, but not to employees Pervasive attitude of "it's always been done this way"
