Pros

Company car with unlimited personal use (this is probably the biggest perk). Good pay and benefits (including health, 401k with 6% 1-for-1 match, full tuition reimbursement, and three weeks paid vacation at start). Even if you don't make a career out of it, you will get unique exposure to elements of sales, marketing, trade marketing, relationship building and account management that you can take elsewhere.

Cons

You are in sales and marketing at the point of sale (trade marketing), but you won't be doing much real selling and you only implement marketing plans using a cookie cutter approach. Don't expect commissioned sales experience or marketing experience. No college degree is particularly a direct fit for what you will be doing as a Territory Manager (Sales Rep). Street smarts and interpersonal skills are all you need, so don't expect the same sales environment as in other consumer goods companies that are not in the tobacco industry. Retailers can be tough and retail is tougher in areas where RJRT has a low market share. You will be doing a lot of box checking literally and figuratively. You might end up living somewhere you don't want to be for a long period of time. Moving up can take much longer than you initially think it will, or it might not happen at all.
