Pros

-Friendly colleagues -A big number of benefits -Fast and reliable support from HR/IT

Cons

-The management (Managers and TL's) Some of the managers were the worse nightmare you could ever have, they were micromanaging everything in the team, reinforcing on matters that we were aware of and some were out of our area of processing, no ideea on the processing side, even when we knew how the flow works, we were still advised to "Try their solution first" - which was 99% of the times ineffective and was just creating more workload than the simple methods we have used before, no team skills meaning that the discrepancies between the managed teams was huge, they clearly had their favourites created based on how obedient to what they say they are, once you have a different opinion or ideea, things change. Also, they don't let TL's do their job, as if they are the Teamleaders, also, It's a gamble, you can either get into a team with a competent,skillfull and lovely TL and Manager which is also people inclined, know how to do their job and they know the process, or you get into a team with a controlling manager with 0 people skills and a conservative mindset.

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.
