Pros

Opportunities for advancement, corporate culture, training and development, open-door policy with upper management, benefits provided to associates, facility, opportunities that are given to those without prior experience, promotions are given based on merit and not simply tenure.

Cons

Negative attitudes from some surrounding the merger. There are a number of people (as you can tell from this line of postings) that still harbor resentment to the changes, but this has helped to make Reynolds a better run organization.

Advice to Senior Management

It is great that you all make yourselves available for newer associates and are open for face-to-face feedback and discussions. The training that is provided directly from Senior Management also is a great way to set clear expectations and provide insight into the reasoning behind decisions that are made.
