Declining Industry
Client Services Manager (Current Employee) - Richmond, VA - November 23, 2022
Job security is a concern due to declining industry. Many re-orgs and layoffs. Leadership makes poor choices that put the company's future at more risk.

Great place to work so far for me different shifts and departments to choose from while working there when postings come up etc. O think it could pay more like every other job though but it’s a great place

Great pay and benefits
Technician (Former Employee) - Richmond, VA - October 26, 2022
Great pay and benefits in exchange for the work you do. Cons are that they own you and can be forced to work whenever they want you too. This is for hourly employees.

Best place to work and grow
Senior Analyst (Current Employee) - Richmond, VA - October 15, 2022
Altria cares about its employees. Because managers expose employees to a wide array of project types, it is an excellent place to learn, use and develop skills including leadership. Here, I have also experienced the best work/life balance culture in any company I have worked for previously. On top of that, benefits and compensation are well above average.

Great people
Senior IT Program Manager (Current Employee) - Richmond, VA - October 11, 2022
Great people & wonderful place to work. Worked here for over 25 years. Generous 401k benefit. Management cares about their staff. Health insurance could be better. Very high deductible of $3K annually per person. Decent dental & vision. Incentive comp program.
Pros
Management cares
Cons
There is no easy job

Great people, kinda political, not a great outlook on industry
Sales Manager (Current Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - October 3, 2022
Great first job, I’m in the car by 7:30/8ish and get home no later than 3:30. Expected to make 5-7 store visits per day. Sometimes feel like a glorified merchandiser but with salary and 401k and car, it’s like close to a 100k package. Legislative attacks are a constant worry on the industry and our products

It is what you make it.
Sales Manager (Current Employee) - North Carolina - July 20, 2022
Altria can be a great place to work depending on the kind of person you are. If you are outgoing and love meeting new people and creating relationships. Altria is the place for you. The work can be challenging and constantly evolving and if you enjoy fast paced environments then you will exceed. Working in the field has its pro’s and con’s and pay scale can improve with all the work you are expected of.

Excellent pay and benefits in a high stress environment
Senior Manager, Finance (Former Employee) - Richmond, VA - May 19, 2022
The pay, paid time off, and profit sharing/401k benefits were excellent, but the trade off was a heavy workload and high stress. Managers were promoted into positions requiring them to supervise and lead a team without adequate preparation and assessment of their suitability for such a role. This resulted in many managers with good technical skills but little ability to manage people.
Pros
Excellent pay and benefits
Cons
Heavy workloads, conflicting priorities, and lack of management training

Merchandising Associate
Retail Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - May 3, 2022
Company car, gas card, $100 towards student loans, laptop, iPhone, benefits Work is monotonous and boring but easy. This job is made/broken based on your Market Manager. Most MM are cool but there are a few who “ do to much.” Just do your work and you will be ok unless you get an jerk as a MM. Also, inclusivity is only at the lower levels. You rarely see POC in leadership roles. There are a few but not many at all. The corporate meetings tells all.

Lots of camaraderie
Packer operator (Current Employee) - North Carolina - February 19, 2022
Made lots of friends who keep in touch with each other. The company has a lot of activities you can join (teams, etc). The company store has pretty good prices. Benefits are good but the prices keep going up.
Pros
Good pay. Union. Never been laid off.
Cons
No room for advancement, really. Have to have advanced degrees.

Altria is at the end of its product life cycle and they are strategically eliminating growth potential for their strongest employees.
Multiple Positions (Former Employee) - Multiple - February 6, 2022
What Altria was attempting to do was institutionalize mediocrity. Their best leaders were trapped by compliance and the fact that they operate in an oligopoly. They pay well and you can do the job very easily at the bottom but if you are trying to do anything except just collect a paycheck and put in minimum effort you will not be rewarded and it will often times work to your detriment.
Pros
Good pay at the lower levels Very easy work No tracking or measuring performance
Cons
No growth potential Completely against innovation Actively eliminating growth potential

The Company is no longer viewed favorably by the community or nationally due to nature of its product. This is a declining industry.
Human Resources Specialist (Former Employee) - Richmond, VA - February 6, 2022
Total compensation has taken a backseat in recent years. This is no longer the best place to work in Richmond, VA. The healthcare plan offered is not competitive in terms of cost or plan design.
Pros
Job Security, Response to Covid, Ability to WFH.
Cons
Growth opportunity and diversity of management, The adjacent strategy was short-sighted, Conservative management.

Great work life balance. Not much career advancement

Pros
Company car, grad school reimbursement, flexible PTO
Cons
Bad management, large teams, some marketing 15:1
