Pros

Great money. Pride in company. Fair. Great benefits. Reward hard work.

Cons

Since the merge the company says that the joint workforce is one happy family. RJR employees are disappearing and former B&W employees are being kept even though some are not qualified to be in the positions that they are in. The company wants you to be a "china breaker" and proactive, yet if your ideas differ from the person you report to, you are berated and not heard. They want you to do your job and what your manager tells you to do. Don't different ideas and opinions end up brining the best results? If you keep trying to bring up your ideas in a positive manner for purely the right reasons,(most efficient, proven, respected, credible) they will make you disappear because you look more intelligent then your boss. Then once you leave they wil take your ideas and call them their own.

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.
