Thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear that you feel as though 3M is not military friendly. One resource we have available specifically for 3Mers who are service members or veterans is our Military Support Network (MSN). The MSN provides active support and outreach to veterans, service members and their families, including scholarships, professional development, military speaker series and networking opportunities. If you aren't already involved in the MSN, we would recommend considering joining, as it is a really great resource for 3Mers in the military. We also provide up to four weeks of paid military leave for military training each calendar year to support eligible 3Mers in the U.S. National Guard or Reserve units. We’d recommend sitting down with your HR partner to make sure you are taking advantage of all of the benefits you should have access to and talk through the rest of the concerns you've listed here. Thank you again for your review. We appreciate you sharing this with us and hope this helps!

Pros

Great products and brand recognition. There are a lot of smart people that love to transfer knowledge. If you want to learn, 3M is a great place for you.

Cons

The culture has changed with the new CEO. The company became more aggressive towards driving revenue versus making innovative products. Also, many people have been upset with the end of remote work.
