Pay Benefits Health Savings Account

Cons

When I first started at 3M/Solventum, I had hopes for working with a group of guys that could get the job done and enjoy each other's company. What I found after opening up to people was a biased culture based on political beliefs and whether or not you did exactly what the lead told you to do. The jobs itself is quite repetitive and routine. FSR1's would deliver wound vacs to patients and hospitals throughout the region. This was the best part of the job managing your accounts even when your lead would do things on his own that would cause chaos for the clients. For example: B/c said lead didn't feel you needed to travel to an account, being it was too far and you would spend too much time on the road, accounts ran out of Vacs several times. He was never reprimanded but I was scolded for being out on the road too long. My job as an FSR2 was to stay inside every day and clean/quality control vacs, all while dealing with the lead's bipolar disorder. My job was also to dispatch work orders from 3-6pm which was constantly under scrutiny for trying to use couriers to fulfill the orders. When I started, several coworkers weren't talking to each other due to the backstabbing of a certain coworker and the lead reporting things to the managers that even the manager never cared to look into. The lead has OCD and is bipolar constantly criticizing the company and how other people do their jobs. Another coworker will constantly spout his political and religious beliefs. I was even told by his own brother-in-law who wasn't speaking to him, that I was being bullied due to my difference in opinion. The manager then told me, if he acted on it, the employee would know and it could make the situation worse for me. HR even told the lead, if he doesn't like it there, maybe he should find another job.

Pros

- on par pay - great benefits; particularly for major health problems. - a lot of remote work opportunities - leading technology

Cons

- poorly managed programs and product backlogs leave a lot of room for optimization efficiency. - implemented Agile but not really Agile. Really missing the mark here and thereby, losing out on the benefits and profits. - lack of ability to pivot and develop strong leadership, it's another corporation that sees people as a simple cog in the machine. During downtime, they cut valuable employees when Solventum really needs to revamp the way they operate and optimize their processes.

Pros

There are some really great people within the organization that have a wealth of knowledge to share and really support you in your professional growth. Good pay, benefits, and depending on the team and those leading the I think there can be a good work life balance.

Cons

Toxic leaders can be found throughout the departments. Spinoff pressures have only made that toxicity spread and create a fear culture where no and boundaries (tasks way outside scope of your position) cease to exist. Largest issue present is individual team members often lead things and the managers have zero accountability. Growth even for those team leads is impossible because you’re too valuable to promote. This supports a culture of do nothing and your promotable versus lead various engagements carry the weight of those not doing the job and keep doing that for 20+ yrs. Also, I did indicate the salary is good but the performance review process and the goes above and beyond rating is a sick joke. You could be the best and be phenomenal but you won’t get promoted for 3 years and you can’t skip job grades even when your performing usually 2 grades above.
