Pros of working at 3M Company

The company's reputation is stellar as are their products. They still offer some match on 401K. For an entry level sales job this is good experience. For upper management they still receive RSUs & stock options. If you are a technical or scientific person living in MN you may be able to find a good job here.

Cons of working at 3M Company

This is not a people centered culture like it was years ago. Plan to see quick turnover in leadership on the VP level as the company values cycling upper management through divisions that operate differently. There are company favorites. Forget work/life balance. They expect you to be available at all times.

3M Company benefits

Short & Long Term Disability insurance offered
