Pros

Strong culture that promotes employee loyalty. Most people who work at large 3M plants (Minnesota, Germany, Japan, Italy) absolutely love it. In MN, specifically, generations of families work at 3M.

Cons

It's a materials/hard-goods company that is struggling to transition into higher technology fields

Pros

Pay and benefits at or above comparible companies in the area. Good health benefits. 3M is a big company so the opportunity to work in new areas is a big plus. New pay system encourages employee performance

Cons

Slow to change. Company size sometimes inhibits project acceleration. Vacation benefits are slightly below industry standard for experience. Limited risk taking from a coporate standpoint.
