Pros

This company has a high level of fiscal stability, due to the fact that its a subsidiary of 3M. The pay is on target with pay provided by this companies peers in the industry.

Cons

The personnel that have been here for ten years or more (80%of all employees) have established a "good ol' boy" type network. The management does not address issues with safety, personnel, or process, instead they throw another S.O.P. at the problem.

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
