Pros

Very professional and ethical, better to fair compensation, J&J Reputation. J&J provides great training programs within company and outside. Six Sigma Training green belt and black belt trainings were the best. Each year, management encouraged to attend shows and seminars. Compensation were fair and competative in the industry. Management made effort to recognize employee with special awards and promotions to a degree. J&J has a very competent work force, which I only realized after changing to a different company.

Cons

Huge organization difficult to be noticed. Skillful political dealings are important if not the most important in getting ahead. Some divisions' management were inplace for a long time and forms a local culture that may be different from division to division. Actually, each division was acquired by J&J and was integrated into J&J family of companies, thus they all still have some of their own identity left. J&J more and more (at my experience) hires from outside instead promoting within. When it does, it tends to hire over-qualified people. If you are already a director, they offer you a manager title, even though the pay might be higher. But this creates a signal that people within will never get next level job (you should be a director first before you can get a manager title) Job pressure and stress can be high and some may not take it well.

Pros

Great benefits and pto days off

Cons

Management has no idea how to run this program. They send of directives and only some people follow the rules. They're constantly having Wfm write you up for something. They ask for unrealistic expectations and when you can't comply you get written up for that as well. You can't even go to the restroom without being off the and having your score affected. Callas are back to back and other teams don't do you job so you are just lying to patients. They force you to work mandatory Ot and can't get a day off to use the time you are given but will take it away if you don't use it within a specific time frame. Top management has no idea what the trenches actually do. Run don't walk. They force you in a job you don't want and make you stay there for 18 months. Jnj is a great company but their service center is a nightmare. Join at your own risk
