3M reviews

There is too much red tape. By the time you get a project ready for approval, it has had dozens of reviews, hundreds of approvals were needed, thousands of hours in presenatation prep time only to find out, that the project needs to stop due to heavy job losses. So much money has been wasted in the past 4 years on projects that end up stopping due to restrucutring. I hope we can figure this out going forward. Employees are tired and overworked and in constant fear of being in the next round of reductions. Stay away from 3M right now until they can figure out how to get back on track.

Moral is horrible. Turnover is high. Marketing company not focused on sales. Changes in direction every year. Lackluster leadership - can’t motivate or inspire. Motivate through fear. Laid off every employee with an exemption. Sexist, boys club. Unprofessional environment. Militaristic pay structure lags behind industry. They hire young interns to replace seasoned reps. Promote through boys club - you will know more than your boss. Reps lack integrity and morals. The company does not focus on the patient. There is no development or professional growth promotions not based on knowledge or work ethic. Be prepared to wear many hats and take on the jobs of others. Customer service was a 10 out of 10 now it is around 1-2 out of 10. The on going “training” is awful - 0 value ad 100% time wasted. The 401k is awful. I could think of more but I’m sure you’ve got the picture by now. If you’re an actual med device rep with determination and drive, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. If you’re looking for the pathway to retirement and would enjoy becoming an administrative assistant - you’ve found your company.
