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.

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
