BAT reviews

If you notice the latest ratings have been very low for Reynolds American. Then BAT tried to make these reviews go away by moving the Reynolds job postings over to the BAT Glassdoor where the rating is much higher (because other regions are treated much better than the US team). If you want the honest reviews go to the Reynolds American original Glassdoor site. This is just one more example of how BAT is ignoring feedback from their US employees and giving lip service to any new or potential employees about how awesome they are to work for.

Be prepared to fall in line and know that the loyalty you show will only buy you some time. Be prepared to drink the kool aid because your input will not be valued as it will die with your direct report. Also, the organization uses spies to micro manage everything you do. The job is only as hard as what you make of it. Just be prepared to be a yes person and be able to defend your performance because everything from selling programs to products is forced and not nurtured causing friction between your boss and the retailer. The retail environment will begin (if it has not already) to catch on to the one sided relationship focus BAT has for everything and start to push back. I really empathize with those who are still putting up the good fight for a lost cause due to the same ole rigor moral of the executives beloved shell game of shareholder magic.
