Pros

Company culture, decent salaries and bonuses, good place to work.

Kontras

Middle and Senior management are not interested in developing their people, although it seems that learning and development culture is written all over.... They are not leaders for their subordinates and they gain "respect" by having a certain grade. Promotions are based on how well you are getting along with your manager, how many hours you are spending at work and how many times you go out for a drink. There is a talent management process in place, but no one takes this into account when there is a vacancy. If you have a different opinion, or if you contradict your manager, you have an attitude which affects your rating, although "strength from diversity" and "open minded" are stated as being core values of the company. Sometimes even yelling or bullying are used. Micromanagement is also shown at high levels. Some people are since forever in some positions, blocking roles and not bringing value any more. Many of these people, although they are not performing, are "covered" by their managers. There is not enough clarity in the tasks, sometimes because the managers have no idea what they want or they haven't checked understanding. Also, you can find yourself working on a project that is being done by someone else in the same time. There is an employee survey in the company but you are just asked for a feedback every 2 years, then nothing happens...

Kontras

I truly miss working for RJReynolds! Even though its a very large company it still had that small close knit company feel. Now that BAT has taken over it is absolutely MISERABLE working here now. The plant has not shut down on a weekend since they took over and doesn't look like it will anymore as long as BAT is in control. All this company cares about is production and getting tobacco out the door. Employees get promoted to positions they no experience in and have no business at all in working in the positions. The moral is the worst I have ever seen it, you can look at coworkers faces and tell they aren't happy working here anymore. The production employees are miserable due to this plant never shutting down and always running. Work/life balance is very bad. BAT has zero care for American holidays, they wont think twice to "voluntell" employees they need to work on the holiday. Employees are scared to speak up and say anything. Management is all yes people and will not stand up for their employees. I have watched everything get progressively worse and worse as BAT continues running this company. This used to be a company that people enjoyed working until retirement and now its a company that works the employees into the ground.
