Pros

- Compensation is good for management level employees though a large chunk of pay is division performance based. - Working at a factory will get you promoted and recognized quicker than working in corporate HQ. - Great health, dental, and vision benefits. Good 401k. Stock purchase at discount. - Performance feedback good (depends highly on your specific manager).

Cons

- Middle management tends to be smarter than senior management. Senior management known to make short-sided and poor decisions frequently. - Older management team does not understand how to manage younger employees. This should change as older employees start to retire. - Pay for junior employees not on par with pay for junior employees at comparable companies. Management and senior level employees get paid on par with peers at other comparable companies.

Pros

Great products and brand recognition. There are a lot of smart people that love to transfer knowledge. If you want to learn, 3M is a great place for you.

Cons

The culture has changed with the new CEO. The company became more aggressive towards driving revenue versus making innovative products. Also, many people have been upset with the end of remote work.
