Pros

RJR had a great work/life balance. You run your territory as if it is your own business. Have the ability to schedule your day based on the need of your own territory.

Cons

In order to be promoted you usually need to be willing to move. This sometimes leads to the right people not being in the right positions.

Pros

Salary and company car, meager benefits, some great co-workers and managers (very few.) Nice to not have to be around managers all the time.

Cons

Terrible work/life balance, constant reports, time wasting approach to sales, micro-managing, in-fighting amongst teams, loads of lies and misdirection in a so-called transparent company. Main office and company's original spirit and ethics are a shell of what they once were. No support from RJRT since they eliminated the HR and legal departments. Favoritism, attitude, disconnect, and inexperience from managers.

Pros

-Company vehicle with relaxed personal driving restrictions! Overall time-off package is great -Nice starting salary -Weekly schedule is flexible

Cons

Where do I start???? -Every year MICROMANAGING increases -Administration time in many areas was eliminated DESTROYING WORK/LIFE BALANCE -Promotion system is a JOKE.. it is largely based on how well management likes you and not your performance -Company's strategic direction is scary!!!! A lot of uncertainty so watch out for job cuts. ***Career largely based off of the ease of the territory you receive and your BOSS. --A lot of your day-to-day work is no big-picture focused
