Pros

Great starting salary for Assistant Brand Managers, higher than industry average Good perks, company discounts, on site gym, good vacation days

Cons

Management will quickly (within the first month) make a decision if you are a 'JnJer' or not, and if you are deemed not, then sorry but no matter what you do you will not be recognized and be given more and more difficult and unreasonable projects to that you purposely under-perform. Work life balance did not exist, was expected to work 12+hr days and was told off if you didnt answer emails on weekends. You had to always be switched on Cult like culture- your peers who were deemed 'JnJers' would be given preferential treatment by managers and would also make it clear that you (if you were not a JnJer) were not welcome in the company Mid and End of Year reviews extremely subjective based on the above points. Managers telling you that you are under-performing without being able to give specific examples.
