Pros

Great people, fantastic benefits, home office and work life balance are all excellent

Cons

Limited ability to move up in my division. They do not have a progression system set up for sales so gaining people management experience is very difficult. They expect pekoe to take on special projects and increased responsibility with no additional compensation.

Pros

Many opportunities as there are positions in nearly every job function or field somewhere in 3M.

Cons

In the last 10 years the employees have been increasingly squeezed in their duties; i.e. just when I think I can not possibly be expected to do more, a member of the team moves on and they are not replaced. Majority of employees are overloaded and do not have time in their schedules to improve on themselves career-wise. "Work-life balance" is officially promoted however the scramble to cut costs is negatively impacting workers.

Pros

Good benefits, good pay, great perks...

Cons

You are expendable. Regardless who you are, how long you've efficiently served in your role. As soon as short term financial gain shows itself - your division will be segmented, and your position is GONE. Period - but it's only business, nothing personal.
