Pros

Pay is okay. Starting salary is on the upper end for sales people coming out of college. Great benefits for health.

Cons

Must relocate for promotions even if there is an opening in your own city. Advancement process is pretty much limited to those who go to certain schools. This is a tobacco company, not a lot of upside for those coming out of school. Get some experience and move on. Senior management thinks everything has to be done today. Too many initiatives at the same time so none of them are done right. They have these company values that they do not follow, but expect everyone else to do. It is a good old boy club at the top.

Pros

This is the perfect company to work for directly out of college. However the medical benefits stink and the promotional process is crap. They rarely promote someone that was not hired from a recruiting school. 9 times out of 10, the person promoted had a territory that looked like crap and their retailers were glad to get rid of them in the hopes of getting a person with some sense of work ethics.

Cons

Work life balance claims made by our company are just words for the shareholders. TSM's (that work) are in the field 40 plus hours, they come home to hours on the computer for emails, online training and next day planning. Management are always making promises to quite the masses in hope that the workers will forget due to a constant bombardment of daily, weekly and monthly tasks. The company has loaded so much crap for the TSM's to complete that the unit managers are left in shell shock for a minute or two when asked what is the focus.

Pros

Altria will work you very hard. however you will learn the business and gain business acumen very fast. The nature of the business demands it. If you are up for the task these skills will be helpful when you move on.

Cons

You will be stressed when you start. Very fast pace.
