Pros

competitive pay and benefits. ability to work remotely part of the time is great especially during the cold and snowy days in winter.

Cons

The new 3M is sadly the place where "innovation goes to die". Good ideas are either killed or appropriated by the bosses and credited to one of their cronies. Boot licking seems the only qualification you need to advance your career. Nepotism, cronyism and favoritism are rampant.
