Pros

Paycheck comes on time every month Good people still work here Solid benefits

Cons

Toxic leadership, organizational frenzy, and no clarity in any role. I remember when I was proud to work for this company. Now, when I look at the way we do business and treat employees it makes me sick on my stomach. I loved RJ Reynolds, but RJ Reynolds has died. There are a lot of great employees (and people) that work for this company that are beaten down. Morale has never been lower.

Pros

Car and parental leave...that's about it

Cons

Completely unreasonable work load expectations. Employee morale is at an all time low. I understand and accept change, but every other day it's something new. Changed bonus structure and set unattainable goals. Pay is considerably low, considering our competitors salaries,, cost of living, and the ridiculous amount of work we're expected to do. You can feel the tension in the air; even DM's feel the pressure. No regard for co-vid and are considering us "essential". Even if vacation is planned, you are expected to get all your visits made if you want to get your bonus. Corporate wastes A TON of money on signage and marketing junk that gets thrown away daily. Constant POS (sign) changeover. The materials we actually use on a daily basis are so cheaply made, that they fall apart the minute you put it up. It's evident that BAT is all about money...for themselves. The corporate greed is ridiculous.

Pros

I've grown with Reynolds for over 14 years, really enjoyed meeting close friends along the way... also I have benefited from a high performing stock and great return on my 401k. This company has moved me all over the United States and I have been able to see some great sights along with experience 1st class meetings. Health benefits and 401 match are top notch.

Cons

The culture has shifted as of late, and has progressively gotten worse for field personnel especially. The word is out on the new "direction" I will be retiring at the end of this year versus staying another 3 years like I planned, Yes, it's that bad. The talent coming on board has become lackluster, with the field employees being taken advantage of and treated like they are dumb by home office. The culture has become more of a "worker bee" structure, with the TM's becoming the scapegoat but yet telling them "management is here to help". The brand releases have become a toxic element for retailers as well. I have seen 3 TM's have health issues due to the work conditions now.
