Johnson & Johnson Vision Care Reviews

Pros

Part of the larger Johnson & Johnson company with access to many excellent benefits such as onsite gym, ability to buy discounted J&J consumer products at the staff shop and the ability to transfer to other divisions within the company

Cons

Several years of significant out of stock issues on key brands leading opticians to increasingly put contact lens wearers into competitor brands. Not been helped by lack of significant product innovation by JJVC, and competitors closing the quality gap with a range of new launches/line extensions. Company is under-resourced with too many part-time roles and in-fighting between departments. Previously JJVC was... able to coast along with a series of product innovations whose growth masked inadequate infrastructure. As of Q1 2014 many employees are looking for jobs elsewhere.

Advice to Management

Too few people are doing too much at head office. Invest in more full time roles rather than part-time band-aids.

Pros

- Good company environment - Understanding managers - Employee benefits

Cons

- Long working hours - Small number of employees

Pros

Absolutely none. The product technicians themselves are great to work with.

Cons

Middle management are the pits. Bully boys. Definite small man syndrome with one or two. No training, plenty of abuse and treating people v badly. Avoid!!!

Advice to Management

Stop losing people who are willing and able due to shockingly poor middle management.

Pros

Health plan- which is being reduced every year

Cons

Pay is terrible, staff turnover is shocking, numbers numbers numbers are the priority then quality, couldn't care less about staff.....just get another one hired

Advice to Management

Proper pay rises 1% isn't good enough, stop eroding worker benefits as there will be push back eventually.

Pros

Work life balance is okay. Pay is average

Cons

Vision Care is the worst division you can work for. I joined the company as Senior Supplier Quality Engineer in 2018. Working here was one of my most horrible experiences in life. Many employees at this site have quit because of poor management and pay, especially the Director of Quality. I recommend stay away. There was a SQE before me also who left.

Advice to Management

None

Pros

Great pay and benefits Still a lot of smart people there scrambling to fill a pipeline Flexible hours Not demanding more than 40 hrs/week

Cons

Seeking-ship feeling creates a negative culture Silo'ed groups need basic cross-pollination to encourage unity Small cog feeling in such a massive company Procedural handcuffs stifle agile innovation

Advice to Management

You've created barriers between the information disseminated among management and individual contributors. Make a SINGLE schedule and hold everyone to it. Distribute the specific milestones, and expectations mapped to a work breakdown structure. Once the project management has transparency everyone will have confidence in meeting the deadline.

Pros

No micromanaging Flexibility of working hours

Cons

Tasks takes time when cross functional teams are involved

Pros

Good benifits such as health care, gym, flexable hours, graduate program which allows for initial experience.

Cons

Fast paced environment, pay is low in comparison to other companies in the sector, constantly increases workload without increasing pay or head count

Advice to Management

Increase saleries for support areas to reflect current workload
