Pros

Working alone. I luckily have a great direct manager. Decent benefits.

Cons

Where do I start. Company is more concerned with being “woke” than they are about the morale of all of the employees. If you lie and cheat or are a minority you get promoted! Those of us in the field are run ragged while being paid Pennie’s compared to similar companies. Doing so much driving, those of us in the field get smaller company vehicles that get very uncomfortable while those higher up that do a lot less driving get full size vehicles. I get home daily with my back hurting due to the vehicles. Yet we are charged the same money monthly for the smaller vehicles that those pay for the larger vehicles. The job security is a thing of the past. Layoffs for the past 2 years so you work day to day wondering if you will have a job next week,month, year, etc…… Luckily I have a good Division manager or I would have been gone long ago. With that being said, I am currently looking to leave the company. Because with all of the layoffs, there’s no more opportunities to promote because there aren’t any positions open. Save your time and stress and work somewhere else!

Pros

401k, Good deal of vacation time.

Cons

I truly miss working for RJReynolds! Even though its a very large company it still had that small close knit company feel. Now that BAT has taken over it is absolutely MISERABLE working here now. The plant has not shut down on a weekend since they took over and doesn't look like it will anymore as long as BAT is in control. All this company cares about is production and getting tobacco out the door. Employees get promoted to positions they no experience in and have no business at all in working in the positions. The moral is the worst I have ever seen it, you can look at coworkers faces and tell they aren't happy working here anymore. The production employees are miserable due to this plant never shutting down and always running. Work/life balance is very bad. BAT has zero care for American holidays, they wont think twice to "voluntell" employees they need to work on the holiday. Employees are scared to speak up and say anything. Management is all yes people and will not stand up for their employees. I have watched everything get progressively worse and worse as BAT continues running this company. This used to be a company that people enjoyed working until retirement and now its a company that works the employees into the ground.
