Pros

I will say 5 words to get the minimum.

Cons

Every day. Every single day is a con. I despise this company with every ounce of hatred in my body. Just when you think it can’t get any worse… you get used to bending over …. Then it gets worse. It never fails. At what point does BAT think that you can actually treat employees like this and not catch any negative reviews? Not that they care. They don’t. It’s a tobacco company. They REALLY do not care about any of us. Especially in trade. We’re basically the annoying minions that keep catching covid and put stickers on springloads. So my issue today is Propel 2.0. You offer packages. Great. Smart ones takes it and the other ones left over don’t have a choice to stay. Literally nobody wants to be here. We would all leave if we could. Anyway, not the point. So then we go down the line and casually lay off layer by layer of trade marketing. Without any reasons. Now we get to the TMs. It’s supposed to be announced on Monday Aug 30th. It wasn’t. They pushed it back to Aug 31. Guess what!!!! It STILLLLLLL WASN’T ANNOUNCED!!!! Let’s see how we can get one more day out of the idiots. Just keep postponing the inevitable. Suck every piece of dignity from us. And just continue to treat us like crap. While I say that I wonder if that’s what Guy meant when he said to “cut the crap.” I mean do they just hate trade THAT much to not worry about how his feels to us to sit and wait for our fate? I hate this company. Everybody hates this company. Home office, trade, even global graduates leave hating it. Congrats BAT. I don’t know how you messed up so quickly. I’ve never seen anything like it. I hate working here. But it doesn’t matter! Because management DOES NOT CARE. Just a number. And if you filter the reviews to this week you’ll see I’m not alone. The entire country feels this way. There are so many reasons that I hate the company but today it’s propel 2.0. Tomorrow it’ll probably be whatever new initiative or “updated BLG” or “pivot” this or “be comfortable being uncomfortable” that or a town hall meeting inviting us to get yelled at or even a survey about how we feel about coming back to the office when WE HAVE BEEN KNEE DEEP IN COVID FOR OVER A YEAR!!!!!! By the way Altria is at home again.

Pros

Great compensation package, some very nice, decent people, but counterbalanced by some complete lunatics

Cons

Extremely political and toxic environment, massive lack of diversity and especially now that they don't "need" to do it anymore, you can see true colors coming out. Advancement and performance is dependent on who you know. No meaningful feedback on how to improve and what actually needs to be done. A tendency to love bright shiny objects and pretty presentation decks, but no real meaningful strategy. And they do not seem to even know themselves what they want, which makes delivering at a high level very challenging. Current CEO is doing a good job I think but he has no idea of the layers of toxicity underneath. I also get a sense that current results are being propped up by people who are on the verge of retirement and will never find another job outside the industry - therefore trying to maximise the most they can out of the next few years with no view to what will happen 5 or 10 years down the road.
