Often toxic environment & culture

Pros

Good compensation, good benefits, yearly bonus

Cons

Often toxic environment - in my time at BAT UK, I've both witnessed and experienced (on multiple occasions) - bullying behaviour, prejudice behaviour, ignorant/racially charged jokes/comments from senior managers, significant drug use (at social events and corporate Christmas parties) When it comes to leadership, as you go up the chain of command everyone is a Caucasian male = significant lack of diversity in senior positions.

Pros

The company is actively committed to each individuals professional development. They treat people fairly within reason - if you work, follow directions well and do your absolute best then you will have a great career here. The majority of your phone and internet are paid for you monthly, your personal and business gas are paid upfront and if you’re willing to listen with an open mind you’ll be given a lifetime of experience from great people.

Cons

It’s no different anywhere but for a few years I had a less than ideal boss. He started strong but slowly spiraled out of control over 4.5 years. You may find yourself with a leader you don’t particularly like or agree with but that’s no reason to quit usually. Don’t let that scare you about BAT or anywhere else, it happens. Great company overall.

Pros

- Promotions are easy if you excel at talking rather than your ability to do real work - many examples, myself included benefited from this culture. - I only left because I was offered a better compensation package elsewhere.

Cons

- Not for folks looking for meaningful personal and professional growth because quality of management has diminished in recent years. - Few local managers at senior level as there is a visible preference for foreigners, therefore limited career progression. Most locals end up at mid level for years before calling it quits.
