      Pros

      Diversification of the company and the industries it serves. The company has a tremendous technical platform and technical staff.

      Cons

      3M states that it supports career development. I think they would like to think that but they do not have the proper tools in place nor the execution of that phiilosphy. I believe a deeper commitment from HR to properly resource such a concept is necessary to truly walk the talk.

      Great place to work in a great city

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Midwestern and Stable Company Cool technology and product diversity There's always something new to learn or to work with Employees, especially technical ones, are always willing to help

      Cons

      It's a big company and as such moves rather slowly sometimes. It can be difficult to navigate as a new person but with a little gumption, it can be manageable.

      Pays the bills and they bend the rules to suit their needs

      Pros

      Good Pay Good Benefits The company has a lot of product diversity, they weathered the recession well (see con) Good with granting time off in a pinch

      Cons

      Its the good ole boys club like many other reviewers say, even at satellite locations. If they want to promote someone but it goes against their formal practices, they just bend the rules In amongst the rank and file, you always know who they want in a job as soon as they put up the interest notice The company has a lot of product diversity, maybe they're spreading themselves too thin? (see pro) The jockeying for position and throwing colleagues under the bus is typical corporate fare
