Reynolds American – “Life @ RJR”

Pros

The money and benifits are very good. There are some fine people to work with.

Cons

A lot of people are doing as little as possible but complain about everything. No direction from management but they expect everyone to just do ther job. It isn't going to happen that way but there is no one to tell that to. If you mention anything at all then they tell you that your being to negative.

They move the managers around and the ones that use to know ther jobs and the processes are gone to be replace by someone who knows nothing of the job or their function but is expected to evaluate you in your job perfomance when he doesn't even know what you are doing.

Advice to Senior Management

Leave managers in their jobs long enough for them to learn the process and function. Quit moving people around so much. If they give the managers a raise then you should give the hourly workers one to; otherwise you will be creating a lot of resentment and low morale.
