Pros
Since the merger, people have less work to do so it easy to leave work early or show up late if personal needs arise. The people I work with are still good but most of the long term Rey employees have left or are leaving. There is more focus on product than there ever was under old Reynolds, which is great since old Reynolds was terribly disjointed when it came to product focus. The new Reynolds is also good at employee camraderie building- the picnics, sports teams, etc. are much more than the old Reynolds would ever do. But, that seems to be a cover for the downside...
Cons
Since the merger, the hiring model is to bring in young college graduates, which is great if that is what you are. But if you are a long term employee who did not come from Houston, your options are very limited. Houston associates can do no wrong. Dayton associates... well, you're lucky we tolerate your presence in this company. There is only one way to do things- the Houston way (the headquarters of UCS- the company that bought Reynolds). While I mentioned product focus as a good thing about the new Reynolds, unfortunately, there will be far fewer customers to take advantage of them. Dealers despise Bob Brockman- he and his less than customer focused policies are driving them away.
