Pros

Successful company with pretty good pay

Cons

Ridiculous travel expectations--3 weeks in Asia, multiple times per year When not traveling to Asia, expected to be constantly connected--answer emails all night Vacation--isn't. Check in email every morning and evening, minimum. Take calls as needed. The old-school benefits are gone--no pension, no banking vacation

Pros

Good first or second job for resume building. If you originate from Minnesota you odds are better for advancement.

Cons

One person doing the job of three due to many cutbacks over the last decade. Moral is lousy, contrary to the "studies" that 3M mgmt refers to on a frequent basis. Pay raises, if any, are very low. Via HR guidelines, job performance ratings are kept down in order to keep pay raises down as well. Happens across the board. Performance appraisal process is rigged to the core, I was part of it!
