Pros

Surrounded by people that will make you laugh at the absurdity. 401k isn't bad.

Cons

Surrounded by people that will make you question pretty certain truths. Good people leave feeling bad. 1) It's a good ol boy culture on steroids. A TRUE Bud Light commercial on MS Teams. 2) They made an attempt to diversify Trade Marketing. The 2 outside Senior Directors hires were either fired or quit once their year was up. Poor Pittsburgh. Not inclusive 3) An overseas take over with incompetent narccists that is doing damage that will drag the business down after they receive their packages. 4) Don't buy it Global Grads - this is not a career. Your hard work will be funneled to pay off a dictator somewhere. 5) A DM who keeps surviving the cuts told me. .. his only skill was manipulating people. If you're a con that can play the game 2.5 - 4 hours a day, you'll collect a check for awhile. So many examples of this. Hey Amish Country! 6) it's not a transformation journey. It's a regressive one. Even Altria slowed down the forceouts. Trade Marketing at Reynolds has to be the least diverse on Bloombergs radar. It's insanely not reflective of what most companies are trying to acheive. All the diversity candidates are shipped to HQ to wallow in toxic politics and mundane roles that are over payed. This is how they meet their quota!The glass ceiling is real, friends. Stay away. So many people have quit or been let go. They are now promoting the bottom of the barrel. Folks that complained-gossiped-maligned- BAT, have been promoted into roles because there is no one else.

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.
