Pros

If you are working for a supervisor who truly is an excellent coach, it can be great. Many nice people work for rj reynolds. The president Susan Ivy as well as many of the other higher ups are very nice. the working culture is much better in the mid-west and the western united states. company car, phone allowance, internet allowance is all included. You will learn a lot as far as sales go. If you can sell tobacco, other companies figure you can sell anything.

Cons

Your job performance is based soley on whomever is your supervisor/coach. Had numerous fantastic bosses. Had two horrible bosses. One just didn't teach anything, the other took my ideas for business plans and said they were his/her own. Bullied, threatened, and sabatoged every aspect of my career. The problem is there is no one to back you because you are basically on your own. So beware if you get a bad boss immediately contact HR.

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.
