Pros

Diversity of products. Strong global presence. Ever growing and expanding.

Cons

Unless you work in research and development or manufacturing you will soon be out of a job. Warehousing and logistics operations by 3M are being phased out. 3PL companies are taking over logistics operations for 3M.
