Pros

Good co-workers, job used to give you the ability to come up with opportunities and solve business challenges (key word: used to), DPS/401k, Free Traverse

Cons

Where do we start? 1) Check the stock price the last: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year. All down down down. Why? JUUL + Cronos. Our brilliant CEO enjoys lighting cash on fire for fun. 2) Recent Layoffs: - 2012 - 2016 - 2019 With significant layoffs, there are far less opportunities for young employees out of college to advance and progress their career 3) SalesForce treating MMs like robots. No autonomy to identify market specific opportunities and work with the team to solve 4) CEO has created worst culture in my 20 year career. Worse than Mike Szymanczyk. He was cruel, but at least grew shareholder value. 5) Legislation: JUUL/eVapor sales contingent upon 2021 PTMA approval. FDA just announced increased cigarette warning labels on packs covering top 50%.
