Pros

For New Mexico the pay is good. Benefits are alright. Co-workers are the best part. VP is good. President is the best but a figurehead. Tobacco is the very best. There are some very talented people working in this company.

Cons

Little trust in upper managment no matter how they try to dress it up. Politics are despicable. Watch out for the overly ambitious but mediocre talent judging others and holding your fate in their hands but not all are like that. some very intelligent people also hold your fate in their hands. But lots of Ego-driven and obsessed with heirarchy. Some real micro-managers. Not enough great workers get promoted. Why? Not from RJR? Not able to relocate? Aren't BFFs with certain people? Not the Reynolds style? So many of the employees are tyring to figure out how they can get out without losing everything.

Pros

Company car and free gas

Cons

1. The managerial style of the district manager in Seattle is extremely petty, his reviews make no sense whatsoever, and there is a rampant culture of favoritism going on in his district. 2. The insistence on doing “work withs” for a person with high functioning Autism was absolute torture. Even though reasonable accommodations were requested by me, none were given. 3. The district manager also referred to me as in proper nouns that were derogatory and EXTREMELY offensive to someone with Autism numerous times. 4. The payout of bonuses were also extremely infrequent, even though I qualified for them. 5. Finally during the interview process, one of the biggest selling points that was made to me was a promise of a work life balance with “exemplary pay.” Neither of which came to fruition.
