Pros
Pay check arrives on time every 2 weeks, well below competitive companies with a ton more work. 401 K Car, but it cost $175 a month & it’s jammed full of equipment
Cons
With almost 20 years on the job I can honestly say I would not recommend this company to anyone. We do the work of 5 Reps & make less than other companies that handle a fraction of our brands. BAT has become a hostile employer, whom does not care one bit for the people who built this company. It truly feels like they hate us in trade & are actively slamming us with unreasonable amounts of work to try to make us quit. I used to love my job & had passion for the business & wanted to win in the market place. No more. BAT has beaten that out of me. All we do everyday is reset the stores we just reset last month, then, reset them again! This company waste so much money on signage & constantly sends more & more it’s unreal. They don’t want to pay us fairly but out spend every other company hands down with constant updated materials. We throw away so much stuff it makes us sick out here. So wasteful & irresponsible. Money, I work for fair compensation however, BAT is a dishonest organization. This year we were told we would get a 2.7% pay increase but, guess what we only received 2%. Further more our sales goals are completely unachievable. I worked my tail off selling Vuse but, because I came in below 90% of my goal I & many others received nothing in that category. I believed in the company & thought they would take care of me. We are told to go faster, do more, work harder. For what? This company is always bragging how much money they make & how sales & profits are more than ever but, find ways to not pay their employees. I live in a State were the average cost of a house is over $650,000 but because I live on the wrong side of a line on a map I make $11,000 less per year than my counter parts. How is this fair? My advice to anyone looking to work here is stay away. All the money stays at the top in this organization. Hey management, I understand you work to increase shareholder value but, how much company stock is held by the little guys? (employees) some of us have been buying for years. How can we own stock in a company that actively mistreats us? Answer, we can’t own a piece of a company we don’t believe in. Maybe this is why the price has been stagnant since BAT took over.
