Pros

- Has to be one of the best places to learn the tricks of trade. - Benchmark compensation package, and the car right after you get your first job as Territory Officer is definitely a big plus.

Cons

- Highly toxic and prejudiced culture, contrary to what you might hear. Emphasizes a lot on diversity, but the reality is if you do not talk in the same wavelength as everyone else, you will soon be pushed aside. - Leadership, especially in Trade Marketing, focuses more on glamor of work than actual effectiveness. Highly invasive of personal space and immensely unprofessional during reprimands. - Work life balance in this company is a myth. If it is important to you, I suggest you STAY AWAY. - Company seems lost when it comes to adjusted mission and vision during pandemic.

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
