Pros

Company Car Benefits Pay Former RJ Reynolds People

Cons

Since the BAT takeover it has been a pattern of increased workload and less pay. The best part of RJ Reynolds was always the people, however this couldn't be further from the truth nowadays. Rumors have it that the beginning position Territory Managers will be eliminated by 2025. BAT likes to think they have great and 'ambitious" plans, sadly they are moving too quickly turning the selling process into strictly a transactional process. Middle management seems frustrated and in fear of C-level staff in speaking up. The culture is toxic and fear have lead to many "yes" men as the contrary is met with a pink slip.

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
