Losing talent

Pros

Has good pay and benefits

Cons

Lots of corporate pandering. They don’t really care about sustainability or social justice initiatives, they just check the box and then under-fund them. Poor c-suite communication and quality people are leaving in droves.

USAC killed it

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Base pay is really good and so is the RRSP plan. Variable pay sucks.

Cons

3M was great. USAC is a new restructuring where the US eliminated resourcing for Canada and killed its high performing culture. As a result all the good talent left. Zero local upward mobility and stagnant wages. US has this astonishing combination of useless meetings and endless spinning of tires for approvals to do anything, but at the same time offering no support or real care for the Canadian business. Competitors in Canada are starting to eat 3M alive because of the lack of focus locally. It’s really too bad because before this restructure it was a different company. Sales professionals look elsewhere, there are better opportunities as there is zero incentive to outperform anymore.
