Pros

Good compensation, good benefits, yearly bonus

Cons

Often toxic environment - in my time at BAT UK, I've both witnessed and experienced (on multiple occasions) - bullying behaviour, prejudice behaviour, ignorant/racially charged jokes/comments from senior managers, significant drug use (at social events and corporate Christmas parties) When it comes to leadership, as you go up the chain of command everyone is a Caucasian male = significant lack of diversity in senior positions.

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
