Nepotism at its finest - Marketing Manager 3M Employee Review

Several of the consumer businesses are trending down. The worst part from what I saw while I was there was the amount of nepotism, favoritism, and hiring of own friends and family members into 3M and leadership roles. You saw that at the highest level of the consumer organization and it trickled down. It's a conflict of interest to hire your best friend to work under you but we saw it happen repeatedly. It's disgusting because these were not qualified people hired for the roles they were placed in. This allowed a certain customer-facing team to misuse millions of funds—poor ethics and people management. Be cautious. Tons of layoffs and a very unstable environment to be in. More than half the people who used to be there are now gone claiming they have "retired" or their positions were eliminated.
