Pros

Company Car Benefits I was fortunate I did not have to move somewhere horrible like many of my counter parts. All new people interested go to any local gas station and ask them about RJ Reynolds you will find out the truth.

Cons

In this job you will not use your college degree like other consumer marketing companies. In sales as a territory manager you are basically a merchandiser. You will spend most of your time in small gas stations arguing with cashiers about tobacco signage. Advancement is pretty much non existent do to the decline of the tobacco industry. The leading tobacco company, Phillip Morris which makes Marlboro, has already began to make cuts and I believe RJ Reynolds will be next. So if you are looking to start a career this will not be the place. For all new comers be careful, their tactic is to move you far away, and make you depend on them for everything. When that happens life becomes stressful.

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.
