Pros

*Lots of room for improvement here *Chaotic environment (if that's your thing) *Loyal personnel *Well-maintained facilities

Cons

*Customer service issues *Product issues *Resource issues (extremely short staffed, no SMEs left) *Application knowledge issues *Nonexistent training *General malaise (stress, burnout, fear-driven culture, fragile egos) *Slow moving in the faced-paced world of healthcare *Little unified vision besides talk *Initiatives are reactive and run on fear, confusion and stress rather than focus, strategy and priorities. *Key and influencial IT staff and high performers seem to get easily lost in the shuffle of confusion, incompetence, and mistrust *Avoidance is the main solution

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and time off

Cons

The IT org is constantly going through layoffs. The work is going to managed service providers in India. The whole process is clown shoes. They are letting people go that have been here for 20+ years that have so much knowledge and expect to transfer it over to workers who are extremely siloed, who might not even be around in 6 months(the retention rate for this particular MSP is abysmal). These workers are not even dedicated to 3M, they have many other projects. I’m concerned for 3M’s IT future. Walking over dollars to pick up pennies
