Pros

The heart that old Reynolds people have for this company and watching them fight for a glimmer of hope in the future.

Cons

Where do you start? Honestly, there are no words to sum up the last 12 months. I am no longer proud to work for this organization. I put in long hours, always have and always will be willing to give 150%, for what? To be ridiculed and to have to ridicule my people? Sacrificing my kids baseball or football games was always a part of the job, then it turned to my vacation days and now it is just my life. It’s not worth it, none of this is anymore. What are we doing here? Putting up dub lights, window clings and corex? Resetting fixtures? The only thing that we are doing that makes sense today is the drive on inventory levels, the rest of our plans are garbage. The way the current leadership team makes their people feel makes me sick to my stomach. If I could leave, I would. I would be 100% willing to give this feedback face to face if I didn’t believe I would be demoted but there is zero trust. They don’t trust us and I sure do not trust them. I have given my entire career to this company, to leading people in this company and now I can barely look my people in the face. I’m over it, something better change soon or… oh wait, or nothing. We have no power, our leadership has not demonstrated that they care about us in any way shape or form and I have no choice but to stay until I can replace my salary.

Pros

The Reynolds internship experience is truly unlike anything I have experienced before. The interns are guided every step of the way, but also have the opportunity to get their hands into real-world projects and assignments in the workplace. I have been treated so well by all the staff, there are countless opportunities to participate in organization events outside of office hours, the pay is great, and the gifts (yes, GIFTS) we have received as interns has been awesome. Depending on the department, some interns get a hybrid schedule where you're allowed to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays.

Cons

I can't really speak on any cons. Everything has been amazing. I would say this type of environment would require introverted people to come out of their shell as the workplace is very lively and energetic.

Pros

Company car and free gas

Cons

1. The managerial style of the district manager in Seattle is extremely petty, his reviews make no sense whatsoever, and there is a rampant culture of favoritism going on in his district. 2. The insistence on doing “work withs” for a person with high functioning Autism was absolute torture. Even though reasonable accommodations were requested by me, none were given. 3. The district manager also referred to me as in proper nouns that were derogatory and EXTREMELY offensive to someone with Autism numerous times. 4. The payout of bonuses were also extremely infrequent, even though I qualified for them. 5. Finally during the interview process, one of the biggest selling points that was made to me was a promise of a work life balance with “exemplary pay.” Neither of which came to fruition.
