BAT reviews

Since the BAT takeover it has been a pattern of increased workload and less pay. The best part of RJ Reynolds was always the people, however this couldn't be further from the truth nowadays. Rumors have it that the beginning position Territory Managers will be eliminated by 2025. BAT likes to think they have great and 'ambitious" plans, sadly they are moving too quickly turning the selling process into strictly a transactional process. Middle management seems frustrated and in fear of C-level staff in speaking up. The culture is toxic and fear have lead to many "yes" men as the contrary is met with a pink slip.

Due to recent forced employee cuts the territories have expanded and are not attainable. Territory frequency visits have also increased to 10 per day which is laughable. Between all the product launches this past year and the continuous price increases on top of what is expected of a TM on a normal store visit, it is very unrealistic given these huge territories. Sadly, it is a disservice to our retailers and end consumers. BAT keeps demanding more and more from their employees across the board. No matter how hard you work and how great your numbers may be or how much seniority one has, you are disposable at the drop of a hat. BAT has proven this. Don’t give this company your sweat and tears. They don’t deserve it. There are definitely better companies out there that will appreciate and value your hard work and efforts.
