Pros

Company car, starting salary out of college, 401k

Cons

Industry has a terrible outlook, Altria specifically has has had 3 BIG layoffs in 7 years so you’re never “safe”. Managers are entitled and incompetent, not their fault, they have no experience and are promoted within 6 month to a year to save money. The TSM role is just merchandising, Unit Manager is just baby sitting, and account teams have no real structure or team balance.

Pros

Salary is very generous for it to be a “sales” position. You get a company car that you can use any time for any purpose. Completely eliminates the need for a personal car payment. You’re left alone to do your job as long as you’re doing your job correctly. Support and recognition from leadership has been top of the line. This isn’t your typical sales position where you must meet objectives or else you’re ran out of the company. The brand sells itself and if you can’t sell the product Altria carries, this probably isn’t the job for you anyway.

Cons

The only con so to speak would be the workload that we have but if you’ve ever worked for a large corporation, you know objectives change almost daily. Yes, it can feel overwhelming at times but coming from a cut throat sales environment, I’ll take this “pressure” all day every day.
