Pros

Decent Salary, Good Benefits, Decent Training

Cons

If you think about working at Altria, remove that thought from your mind. They claim they seek diversity however don't be fooled. They do not seek dIversity of thought. If you do not agree with their political ideology, regardless of your merit, you will be fired. If they find anything on your company phone they don't like, you will be fired. If you don't support their radical causes, you will be fired. If you are a radical social activist with little interest in improving the company, you will find a welcoming environment. Hard to believe this company has attorneys and HR people that allow this environment to persist but they do. They seem completely oblivious to how this affects people who disagree with their ideology or more likely, they don't care. Their way or leave is their mindset. Surprised they have not faced a multitude of discrimination lawsuits yet. Horrible place to work.

Pros

Great salary and benefits- excellent volunteer program.

Cons

No discussion with management on reorganization and those who should retain roles- decisions made by executive level who are not close enough to know what it takes to get the real work done.

Dead end company - look elsewhere.

Pros

Compensation is competitive for entry level candidates out of college, company car

Cons

No upward mobility whatsoever, especially in areas of low volume. Management is perpetually scared about their jobs and inevitable reconstruction that the CEO occasionally acknowledges is coming soon. They don’t develop their employees and leave them out on an island to fend for themselves. This may be different in other parts of the country but upper management doesn’t seem to care about the lack of leadership or support middle managers give to their TSMs. Unless you are looking to get a quick 1-2 years of experience out of college, I would look elsewhere for opportunities. If you get the job, you will either quit from lack of development, or lose it abruptly from a reduction in the workforce. Also, I would be remiss if this wasn’t included: they talk about diversity and inclusion about everyday and drill it into the membranes of their employees heads that if you have a difference of opinion with their PR tactic of hiring diverse candidates, then you will be in big trouble. There is no diversity of thought in this company and if you don’t follow along with the liberal agenda, you won’t be around long. Most employees are rubbed the wrong way with the suffocation of this topic, and eventually this will only divide the company to a level of pure negativity and rebellion.
