Pros

3M offers a lot of opportunity and development for engineers and sales professionals. You can mix your career across businesses, division, and roles with wide and deep opportunities for individuals.

Cons

Not a great place for marketers. Extremely risk averse and marketing challenged. Company has no direct-to-customer or digital competencies. Management is entrenched in 20th century go-to-market models.

Pros

Stable job. Work remote. Great benefits.

Cons

Pay doesn’t always reflect your individual sales or effort. Supply chain issues are out of your control yet will take hit in your pay. Career advancement is not what it was 5-10 years ago. Lacking a well defined career path too. Management with pensions think employees will remain loyal when they don’t get the same offering anymore.
