Pros

- if you're into marketing or anything like that - I'm sure you can learn a lot, however mind that this is a very specific, highly regulated business so "the process" takes longer than in other companies I would say - nice, helpful people and atmosphere (most of the time) - you can count that someone will help you (unless they leave - look cons) - professional and pleasant recruitment process

Cons

- hard to get to without a car so if you don't live nearby, it will take you a while to get there, tram/bus stops are pretty far away - "too short" company ladder, people on supposedly the same level, have vastly different levels of experience -high employee turnover - people are leaving, some due to low pay compared to the competition, some because they cannot handle the overwhelming amount of duties - onboarding should be more organized and not ad hoc, take a little longer and include things necessary for work that an employer needs to figure out for himself (wasting time)

Pros

- Complete autonomy with schedule which provides for a nice balance between work and personal life - Impact people who are trying to grow their careers - Company car and free* gas is pretty nice

Cons

- Autonomy & freedom does leave time where you have to be self-motivated to keep going and push forward

Pros

Very strong compensation package, lots of very nice genuine people on the Reynolds US side

Cons

Toxic, politically charged environment, cliques of people each trying to place their own people in roles. A singular mis-trust and dislike of "outside" people who are brought in to move the company forward but the existing people who have worked there for years and years are all trying to protect and sustain their own roles and their own cliques. All show and pretty presentations but no meaningful, meaty strategy
