Pros

Great intranet resources. Great Six Sigma training program Great place to improve political skill set Great place to learn how to polish shoes of the top management Great place to learn for stepping stone purpose.

Cons

Only those with great polishing skills will be in the good books of the top management. Red tape approval on simpliest consumer promotion acivities. Terrible place to work for those with FMCG experience. YOu will loose your FMCG skill sets. Penny wise Pound foolish investment strategy. 3M finds reasons to make you redundant or terminate you once you are not in their good books. Consumer group employee average tenure is 6 months to 1 year before they leave the company or gets booted out of the company. 3M terminates your service when economic downturn comes around. Every single downturn they have terminated people.

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
