Pros

Company car minus $175.00 monthly Some phone allowance Some internet allowance Vacation (if you choose to use)

Cons

My goodness, where do I begin? I have no idea how BAT has 4 stars. If you want true reviews, look up reviews for "Reynolds American". Since Project Propel in July, 2020 it is a complete, aimless wreck. Our customers can't believe their eyes. They are forced to carry all of these items that everyone knows will never sell in their market. Maybe the big cities on the east and west coast... All of this running and moving the same category with POS changeover after changeover and remerchandising the same categories monthly. The merchandising on Brand Load Guidelines doesn't make sense and creates out of stocks for the Vapor section. We are held to a standard that unattainable. Number one in the nation in several categories yet the management doesn't reward us. Just more mundane, meaningless work. I speak for ALL of my peers when I say we feel like we are on a hamster wheel, going nowhere. The only thing I look forward to is the weekend and days off. On saturday evening I am dreadful that Monday is only another day away, then back to the three-ring circus for another five days.

Pros

- Complete autonomy with schedule which provides for a nice balance between work and personal life - Impact people who are trying to grow their careers - Company car and free* gas is pretty nice

Cons

- Autonomy & freedom does leave time where you have to be self-motivated to keep going and push forward

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
