Pros
BAT has a great profile but what about the businesses they acquire?
Kontras
BAT invests in terrible businesses. Reynolds American employees are suffering. The good ol boy network still remains. The company’s ratings are very accurate. Reynolds American management’s way of fixing the issue is to create a project for Glassdoor and have management go on there and write 5 star reviews! One privileged employee whose family has over 500 service years with the company posted a closed minded review. It’s easy to say you are responsible for your own career when your career was established for you before you were born. The Reynolds American leadership is not delivering. They strategize on the next lie. They had US employees take a survey before the actual survey is administered. Why? They want to manipulate the numbers and quickly fix the low scores. It’s a complete circus. A lot of nepotism and lies occur right under BAT’s watch.
