Pros

Benefits / PTO is pretty good.

Cons

Management/supervisors constantly changing. Not much opportunity for growth unless you're one of the management's favorites. If anybody accuses you of something, HR/supervisors take their word for it, even without much evidence. Production workers are too scared to speak up regarding issues and when they do, nothing is done in response. If you want to work at JnJ, do yourself a favor and find another facility.

Pros

401K, Pension, Healthcare Benefits, Standards, Clear Goals and Objectives

Cons

JNJ is interested driving down cost to improve profitability therefore production operations at this site were outsourced to a CMO or sold off to JABIL. Dedicated employees and their families were adversely impacted by the decision. People lost jobs, frozen or put on "duration roles" where employee would essentially become contractors where employment would cease with the company in 12 months. As a result employees were no longer eligible to participate in career growth programs to transfer to other sites within JNJ to progress their careers.

Pros

Compensation is good with annual bonus and long term incentives i.e. stock plans. Pension is rare in a public sector company and J&J offers one. There are some wonderful and talented people who are dedicated and passionate. Potential for some very good experiences but highly based on your manager and area of the organization. It can be a good company. Avoid the Medical Devices sector like the plague.

Cons

The CREDO is nothing more than some words carved in granite as most leadership ignores most of the tenants and act in direct contradiction of them. Employees are encouraged to speak up however it's window dressing as there most definitely will be ramifications for doing so. The culture in the Medical Devices sector is toxic and leadership is extremely poor. I can't speak for the Pharmaceutical or Consumer sectors however. Leaders who implement failed strategy after failed strategy resulting in poor growth and reduced revenues just get shuffled around into different while they constantly cut lower level employees to compensate.
