Pros

The only reason to work at Reynolds is to get experience or stay off welfare. I wish I could say more positive things about Reynolds. Reynolds had the reputation of being the kind of company one could go to and retire from. However, those days are gone. I liked the people and the devotion people had toward their work, but now those people are gone. The pay was alright when I worked there, but now people are being replaced by college kids who can take a test well, and not know what they are doing. So few good things to say now.

Cons

The Upper Management is stuck in the past. Mr. Brockman bought the company in order to learn and use the good points of Reynolds, then changed everything to be consistant with his struggling company. Reynolds does not like to have people with seniority around. You will be laid off and a person, just out of college who works cheaper, will take your job. The new management does not care about history or devotion to the company. The only concern that upper management has is to the bottom line. I enjoyed my time at Reynolds, but left shortly after the company was bought by Mr. Brockman. I can't believe the shareholders couldn't find someone better to have sold the company too.

Pros

Free lunch, the other technical writers are nice to work with. Company benefits have improved in recent years.

Cons

Incompetent DOC Management will drive even the nicest writers away from the company. If you work as a technical writer, you will be underpaid, overworked, and micromanaged. The people in the DOC department are treated differently from others in the company solely because of DOC management rules. For example, supervisors will go through your desk and drawers each week as part of cube inspections, and there are strict rules about what you can and can't have in or on your desks. Because other departments do not do this, the DOC department looks much more sad and gray than the rest of the company. Your badge tracks you at all times throughout the building. If you go to an area of the building that you don't work in, there are good odds management will ask you about that. Management does not care about the tech writers. It's turned even the nicest and most positive people negative towards the department. There are nearly zero writers who have been there longer than 1 year that are positive towards the department. Turnover in the department is crazy. Someone leaves on average every 2 months, so nearly the entire department is different in just 2 or 3 years. Even though the cafeteria is free, the food can be hit or miss.
