pretty much everything else besides what I wrote in pros.
- very cut throat and back-stabby work environment. do not trust your co-workers here, atleast the ones that I have in my group are this way.
- it is not worth working hard or going above and beyond because you will get the same performance review grade as someone who comes into work and does the bare minimum. Hard work is only rewarded by more work and responsibilities with out a pay raise or promotion
- impossible to get a promotion if your supervisor/management has any personal issues with you, despite if your performance and regular job duties go above and beyond your current job grade. You are expected to work at the level above your pay grade to "prove" you are capable, when even when you do this, the goal posts keep getting moved. Promotions from group to group vary so widely, there is no standardized approach to promotions which lead to rampant nepotism.
- HR is only there to protect the company and management. It doesn't matter if your management violated the code of conduct and you provided proof that this was happening. You stick your neck out to do the right thing, and then when HR does nothing, you then have a huge target on your back from your management who then continues to undermine you in more covert ways. And then HR ignores when you are targeted for retaliation.
- morale is terrible and will only continue to get worse. Unless there are huge changes within 3M within the next 6 months (and not just "restructuring" lay-offs that seem to have no rhyme or reason), I do not see how this will get any better.
- psychologically an unsafe place to work. abuse and bullying from management is tolerated. HR will do nothing.
- if you care about your mental health or job security, steer clear of this company.
