Cons
IA’s have officially taken over this place , and don’t an amazing job at over complicating every step in the process. Somehow they have managed to be masters at over complicating how to sell cigarettes . Seriously , you are a cigarette company . You sell cigarettes . You’re not Apple, Mclaren, or Tesla. The majority of the world is against the product we produce, yet somehow the IAs think otherwise . The biggest issue is the majority of our “leaders “ come from a market where you cannot market or even show the consumers your products. So we end up getting a group of individuals who have no real world experience in this industry writing the strategy of the company . Essentially, working here is like have it a first class ticket on the titanic . It’s going down, and fast .
