      Pros

      Benefits are good, including health insurance, vacation days, family days, on-site healthcare.

      Cons

      Only food dispenser meals available on-site; some managers should not be leaders; continues to be confusion between the former company's culture and the Johnson and Johnson 's approach. Most managers are "imports" from J&J, with a minimal opportunity from inside, even when well qualified.
