Pros

Good pay, hybrid working, canteen

Cons

I'd barely started before younger members on the team warned me of the toxic nature of the business. It then didn't take me long to witness this for myself. Senior members would hold regular meetings that would last for long periods of time where you left with no idea as to what was needed to be done. It was an open secret that older staff were staying just to hold onto their pensions. They were constantly having fallouts and being moved into different teams and this game of chess was constant. Senior managers hired friends into the business and they would openly speak about other team members. Their highly unprofessional attitude was ignored as everyone just looked out for themselves. The digital division was wildly under skilled and staff decided to point fingers and blame, rather than looking inward and trying to change their ways. They wanted key decisions to be made with little to no data or context provided. Systems were not managed properly and huge budgets were handed to agencies who did the bulk of the work. If you're young don't be enticed by a good wage because you'll never last in such a toxic environment.

Pros

Good benefits. Vacation, holidays, and 401k.

Cons

Terrible incompetent management. Management continues to make bad decisions. The company is trying to push out the great Lorillard employees so they can hire cheap incompetent people from other countries. Recently there's been a large hiring spree of people from central and south America. This company is so worried about hiring DEI employees, the talent and quality of workers is terrible. If they promote people they don't announce it because they know other employees will get upset. Recently an incompetent DEI employee was promoted, while other strong hard working employees wait from 15 to 20 years to be promoted.
