Pros

Establish company were people would like to be. A place that we think a great place to settle down. Good bonus payout to employee.

Cons

Environment and culture is different. Not everyone is ready. The culture has been set in a way where if you unable to adapt you don't feel belong. Need to be independent. No training will be provided, all is hands on. HR does not playing vital role in helping the staff. From my experience such a big company but having the worst HR ever. All your future is depending to your line manager. If you screw up or you do not have good relationship with the line manager just forget staying long in the company.

Pros

401k, Good deal of vacation time.

Cons

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.
