Reynolds American reviews

Goals and expectations are outlandish - not to shareholders, but to the field personnel. Stretch goals become lashes (not only in compensation at times but during the day-to-day from immediate/upper management). Achieving or exceeding goals is rewarded monetarily but the process to do so results in working throughout your “off time” and anyone saying otherwise isn’t honest with themselves or is succeeding on the virtue of their assignment’s dynamics. Change demands a fast response, but there is a difference between fast yet productive and ludicrous speed without realistic plans/direction. One arrives at the conclusion that many things are being done simply because they can and the company is essentially securing results through mere product distribution. As there isn’t time for proper planning or execution many tasks are just pushed down the ladder to be figured out by the field reps without clear direction or timeframes that are achievable without following the procedure mentioned above. A large portion of middle/upper management is becoming either delusional as a result of these actions or simply don’t care as they are worried about hitting their goals/keeping their position secure to the detriment of their subordinates.

PAY PAY PAY! I really just don’t get it how it’s not seen or understood I know it’s littered throughout Glassdoor: We the expirenced TMs that drive initiatives, and drive profits are vastly underpaid especially versus competition. Yes this taking into account the new payment structure that was just recently announced. Workload has gotten ridiculous so many brands to manage and if you’re independent heavy, it’s multiplied exponentially. Zero promotion available if you are not able to uproot your life to anywhere.
