Pros

The benefits are great. Health care, stock purchase plan, 401 matching, retirement plan. Salary compensation is competitive.

Cons

The company goes in all sorts of different directions, depending on ever-changing directives from the top. There may be an initiative in one area that employees devote all their time to for years, then despite impressive results and improvements in the right direction, it is scrapped because someone at the top had a different idea. There is also a lot of "behind the scenes" initiatives to keep the bosses happy, e.g. recruiting the person the boss wants for the job rather than the most qualified (happens all the time). Also, tweaking evaluations to make superstars out of select employees, rather than rewarding for true performance.

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
