Pros

Smart people (legacy) Good pay and benefits Encourages and provides opportunities for continuing education

Cons

No path to advancement since BAT took over; promotions of legacy people has near ceased, with international assignments and external candidates getting priority. Creates a ridiculous churn of seasoned people educating and doing the work for superiors who know little to nothing of the US market or the industry in general. IT is under resourced. Field trade is demoralized and angry, legacy corporate employees are too. Ridiculously lax position on COVID19 as delta rages through the US. Recent remote policy not enough, months late in the making and obviously (thankfully) Altria forced their hand. Meanwhile leadership lives all over the world.

Pros

The Reynolds internship experience is truly unlike anything I have experienced before. The interns are guided every step of the way, but also have the opportunity to get their hands into real-world projects and assignments in the workplace. I have been treated so well by all the staff, there are countless opportunities to participate in organization events outside of office hours, the pay is great, and the gifts (yes, GIFTS) we have received as interns has been awesome. Depending on the department, some interns get a hybrid schedule where you're allowed to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays.

Cons

I can't really speak on any cons. Everything has been amazing. I would say this type of environment would require introverted people to come out of their shell as the workplace is very lively and energetic.

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.
