I worked at Reynolds American

- Benefits

- Bonus
- Training

Cons – These were my negative experiences working with the Denver Region:
- No coaching
- No positive feedback
- Minimal Development
- Incompetent Upper Management
- Unrealistic Expectations from Upper Management
- Have to be 100% mobile for promotions
- Rule by fear
- Micro-managing
- (3 AM's in 3 months quit in 2011)

Advice to Senior Management – Take a look at some of the people you have in Region Director and Senior Management positions. My experience in other regions was much more positive than in Denver.

Pros – The lifestyle of the job is great since it allows you work independently and not have to go to an office.

Cons – The culture is one that involves management by fear. You hear more negative than positive which is not a motivating factor.

Pros – car, laptop, cell phone allowance

Cons – Horrible manager--treats people like with no respect. Never has anything positive to say and does not mentor or coach at all. This manager has a bad reputation of destroying careers.

Pros – You can take vacation whenever you want. Good place to start if you are right out of school. The company is desperate for young people to engage young smokers face-to-face. The company will embrace you and promote you quickly.

Cons – VERY political. I could go on all day here. They treat everybody, employees, customer, consumers, like crap. They think by saying something it makes it so (we are ethical, passionate.....etc) They are anything but. Senior management has no clue. I was with them for 21 years, and the company lost share every year. Like playing for the Cubs- lose EVERY time. The company is hemorraging cash, and will probably soon be bought by a competitor.

Advice to Senior Management – This company is beyond repair.
