Pros

Great pay and benefits. The culture is outstanding. You have freedom to share opinions. Work life balance is respected.

Cons

Senior leadership has the desire to diversify revenue outside of Cigarettes and into newer tobacco categories but they absolutely can't figure out how to do it. They are not just failing in the vapor category, but they are failing repeatedly and spectacularly in historic examples of bad business decisions. And since they can't grow revenue, they are offshoring good paying white collar jobs to India. The employees got 3% raises, but senior leadership received 7%-13% raises despite failing miserably with several vapor acquisitions and needing to pay for their failures with US job reductions.

Pros

Salary is very generous for it to be a “sales” position. You get a company car that you can use any time for any purpose. Completely eliminates the need for a personal car payment. You’re left alone to do your job as long as you’re doing your job correctly. Support and recognition from leadership has been top of the line. This isn’t your typical sales position where you must meet objectives or else you’re ran out of the company. The brand sells itself and if you can’t sell the product Altria carries, this probably isn’t the job for you anyway.

Cons

The only con so to speak would be the workload that we have but if you’ve ever worked for a large corporation, you know objectives change almost daily. Yes, it can feel overwhelming at times but coming from a cut throat sales environment, I’ll take this “pressure” all day every day.

Pros

Good pay and great beenfits.

Cons

No time off even if it’s not paid. Work 60 hours a week on average not counting when they add in weekends. No work/life balance.
