Pros
3M offers decent pay and benefits. If you are a good performer they typically reward you with promotions and/or larger than average raises. They are willing to let you try and find better ways of doing things...but actually implementing them can be a different story.
Cons
Beauracracy. Layoffs seem to target workers, not managers, especially in IT. It seems as though valuable IT resources are lost frequently, while the managers they reported to maintain their position without taking over the past responsibilities. The pace of change crawls, especially for IT systems. Some of the systems we have to use seem to have been modern in1975.
