Pros

Great Opportunities for Young Talented Workers Compensation as good or best in the Triad Robust Brands Industry safe against economic recessions

Cons

Reynolds used to be a family culture of quality workers who you were proud to work beside. BAT (parent company) has sent all their executives and middle managers over to "accelerate the pace of growth". The vast majority of the BAT secondees are not able to manage at their level and have tanked the culture. The Reynolds CEO is fair but the majority of his management team isn't talented. Used to be a company I took pride in, now I'm just trying to keep my sanity long enough to keep cashing in on the good benefits

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.
