Pros

Good benefits, company car. Most managers(who have been with the company more than ten years) are very caring and worried about your personal/work balance. You must be self motivated, organized, and listen to elder employees to be successfull at having a personal life.

Cons

The only way to be promoted is to be a BROWN NOSER and mobile. How hard you work or how organized you are doesn't matter!! Hire a bunch of young punks who spend more time trying to make themselves notice instead of working hard and doing what's right for the company. Employees who aren't mobile are forced to train the above BROWN NOSERS who do as little as possible but still get promoted because they are mobile. The BROWN NOSERS whine and complain about how much time they put in, yet when they get promoted their assignments are a mess leaving stores not getting paid and the owners hating R.J., Reynolds !!!

Pros

Company car and free gas

Cons

1. The managerial style of the district manager in Seattle is extremely petty, his reviews make no sense whatsoever, and there is a rampant culture of favoritism going on in his district. 2. The insistence on doing “work withs” for a person with high functioning Autism was absolute torture. Even though reasonable accommodations were requested by me, none were given. 3. The district manager also referred to me as in proper nouns that were derogatory and EXTREMELY offensive to someone with Autism numerous times. 4. The payout of bonuses were also extremely infrequent, even though I qualified for them. 5. Finally during the interview process, one of the biggest selling points that was made to me was a promise of a work life balance with “exemplary pay.” Neither of which came to fruition.
