Pros

The only thing positive about the company is the compensation package. If you are attired by money this is the place to work at. For the rest.... I cannot find anything worth mentioning

Cons

Tobacco company, hence ethics and morale does not exist apart from the façade. The type of industry shapes the employees and the culture. Also this type of industry attract people with no principles Everyone is here to "milk the cow". Poor line management, only focused on personal gain without real interest to support. Very hierarchical. Almost like the monarchy. Tobacco industry in the 21st century is about lawyers and lobbists trying to gain time to transform the company before is too late.

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
