Pros

In terms of a great place to work, ability and freedom to take decisions about the business, being proactive in innovating new and better ways of doing things, then it is a great place to work. offers job flexibility as in you can determine what time to come in to work at the office.

Cons

promotion is determined by how sexy you look, what kind of designer dress or shoe do you have on, do you drive the right car. not explaining job roles to prospective employees. the unwillingness of the company to pay for relocation allowances for employees. Also, employees that are posted to other end markets outside Nigeria are paid a daily stipend of $50 which is criminal. openmindedness is not encouraged. Career paths, training and development are not stricitly adhered to with non management staffs not being allowed to leave the field to attend trainings for more than a year.

Pros

Modern premises, IT system, good "best practices" are shared across the company and the group. The group itself has an impressive global reach.

Cons

Working for a company that, in the end, sells addictive products, that will kill one in two long term smokers. Pretending that you do not. Management wise, the elite is com-ple-te-ly divorced from the base, hopping from an expatriation to another, but otherwise being almost entirely invisible to the file and rank employees, save for BBQ day when they slap a lot of shoulders and call a lot of people "buddy".
