Pros

Company Vehicle Benefits Good pay for small rural area

Cons

Due to recent forced employee cuts the territories have expanded and are not attainable. Territory frequency visits have also increased to 10 per day which is laughable. Between all the product launches this past year and the continuous price increases on top of what is expected of a TM on a normal store visit, it is very unrealistic given these huge territories. Sadly, it is a disservice to our retailers and end consumers. BAT keeps demanding more and more from their employees across the board. No matter how hard you work and how great your numbers may be or how much seniority one has, you are disposable at the drop of a hat. BAT has proven this. Don’t give this company your sweat and tears. They don’t deserve it. There are definitely better companies out there that will appreciate and value your hard work and efforts.

Pros

Very strong compensation package, lots of very nice genuine people on the Reynolds US side

Cons

Toxic, politically charged environment, cliques of people each trying to place their own people in roles. A singular mis-trust and dislike of "outside" people who are brought in to move the company forward but the existing people who have worked there for years and years are all trying to protect and sustain their own roles and their own cliques. All show and pretty presentations but no meaningful, meaty strategy
