Pros

Pay, Car, 401k, Some Co-Workers

Cons

Be prepared to fall in line and know that the loyalty you show will only buy you some time. Be prepared to drink the kool aid because your input will not be valued as it will die with your direct report. Also, the organization uses spies to micro manage everything you do. The job is only as hard as what you make of it. Just be prepared to be a yes person and be able to defend your performance because everything from selling programs to products is forced and not nurtured causing friction between your boss and the retailer. The retail environment will begin (if it has not already) to catch on to the one sided relationship focus BAT has for everything and start to push back. I really empathize with those who are still putting up the good fight for a lost cause due to the same ole rigor moral of the executives beloved shell game of shareholder magic.

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
