Pros

Free parking, but long walk in the cold winter; company store has discount paint brushes and other supplies.

Cons

Leadership by intimidation; arrogance unsupported by results; poor computing technology; archaic leadership methodologies; very old school; archaic, clunky computer system for managing contracts; one printer for a whole department of people. Everyone trying to pass on work as belonging to another commodity. Tattle-tell environment encouraged. They seem to have trouble with blue jeans on Fridays.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and time off

Cons

The IT org is constantly going through layoffs. The work is going to managed service providers in India. The whole process is clown shoes. They are letting people go that have been here for 20+ years that have so much knowledge and expect to transfer it over to workers who are extremely siloed, who might not even be around in 6 months(the retention rate for this particular MSP is abysmal). These workers are not even dedicated to 3M, they have many other projects. I’m concerned for 3M’s IT future. Walking over dollars to pick up pennies
