Pros

Salary, Benifits, Company Car, Free Gas

Cons

Company overall strategy is not realistic, talking about tobacco pricing burns TM's out. If you get a good territory and a good boss you will be ok. If you get a bad area and/or bad boss your career will be short at RJ Reynolds.

Pros

Company Vehicle - Ford Escape, paid insurance, new car every 3 years, Full benefits, 401k, 401k match up to 6%, Optional Roth 401k, nice bonus at the end of the year (assuming you hit your goals), salary increase based on merit every year, work from home/your car, only have to work with your boss once a month, flexible schedule.

Cons

You have to deal with people who can barely speak english, you are in and out of convenience stores all day, it is easy to get sick from all the people you interact with all day, your clients are not well educated and therefore run a gas station or liquor store, contracts and prices are constantly changing, you have to roll up your sleeves and get a little dirty at times, you have to self-evaluate yourself twice a year for perforance reviews, and you can find yourself working long hours if you don't keep a healthy work-life balance. Can be hard to get promoted - the company is not creating new positions, but rather filling positions as they open up.

Pros

The money and company car, that's it

Cons

IN MY OPINION - no room for advancement unless you are a manager's pet, good looking, played an instrument, drank with the good old boys after hours / Get ready to live in your suitcase / Politics here consumed almost every decision made / Graded by a so called "panel" at the end of the year, which you don't hear about until weeks later, where managers sit there and bash you and you can't defend yourself until after your review is given / Slowly and painfully having the original history of the company gone and becoming RJ Reynolds.
