Philip Morris International

Philip Morris International (PMI) is an innovative and forward-thinking company committed to transforming the tobacco industry. With a focus on reduced-risk products and sustainability, PMI provides excellent career growth opportunities and values diversity and inclusion. Their global presence and industry leadership make them a fantastic place to work, especially for those interested in impactful, purpose-driven work. The company offers a dynamic and challenging work environment that fosters continuous learning and development.

Working at PM was a challenge @ the beginning. Once secure in my job became easy. But in my case I became extremely ill & almost lost my life behind it while working for PM. Where I had Acute Pancreatitis, renal failure,  dialysis,  sudo cyst infection, stomach aneurysm, on life support all while in ICU. When this happened to me over the course in a year. Got denied long term disability while out that year to protect me from loosing my job. So my Dr. released me to return to work right before my year was up & I worked 8 days then got admitted back into the hospital on my 9th day where I stayed in the hospital 6 more days. Because I didn't work 10 days PM terminated me & I was let go of my duties there. True..... They aren't obligated to keep me employed. But all that I encountered while fighting to live & not having my job which is a multi-billion dollar company to be there like I've been for my years of working. Shows why I feel negative about this company.

PMI used to be one of the best companies to work for (great environment and culture, great benefits, work was demanding but there was much better balance and motivation, there were lots of opportunities to develop). However since the last 2 years this have dramatically changed for the bad. They are undergoing quite an ambitious transformation with high speed but unrealistic timeline. There is a strong and constant pressure to deliver results and find efficiencies no matter the cost. Several of my colleagues in Finance and other departments complaint about being overwhelmed with work and unhappy with their job, and we are talking about very good professionals who generally are engaged, high performers and have lots of drive. 
To work in Finance is to sign up for secure burn out in the near future. 

I have to say you never knew what your days was going to be like because your day was always different. It could change as soon as you walked through the door. It could go from problem solving, account issues, meetings, orders not right, head quarter changing due dates, computers not working, equipment problems, etc... but the one thing I could say I loved my job it was challenging and fulfilling.

Your learning something new everyday as well as multitasking which was something you learned how to do real quick with this job it also made the job rewarding when you were able to meet several deadlines for many different levels. 

Retailer were hard at times to understand but you worked with them and do the best you could to help. Great people to work with and fun to be around. I have no complaints about anyone I worked with. If the office didn't close I would still be working there.

Get to work 30mins early to prepare production schedule for teams. Morning meeting with the whole of primary to discuss day's production, what we can do better, safety concerns and general housekeeping. Out on the floor with the teams, operating relevant production lines, relieving for breaks, keeping management up-dated on current status of adherence to schedule or possible interruptions that will cause downtime, co-ordinating relevant departments to insure continuous flow of production. Attend projects, safety, scheduling meetings and any training and development if scheduled for the day. Last but the most important, pitch in with the teams for production clean and prepare for the following shift.

This position involved acquiring and coordinating the installation and maintenance of telecommunications equipment for upper management. The analysis and processing of bills in addition to participating in negotiations and recommendations of vendors was also part of this position. Concentration, multi-tasking, and working well under pressure were qualities that developed while working at this company. This was a critical department; co-workers worked closely to ensure the complete satisfaction of upper management. The most challenging part of the job was anticipating the needs of upper management. The most enjoyable part of this position was handling confidential information and working with various levels of management.

Even though I was working part time, I enjoyed providing administrative duties to the sales team.  Because of my organizational skills and work ethics, I worked with not a lot of supervision.  I had the ambition and the drive to work hard and well.

I provided sales support by creating and distributing promotional letters to the sales team, documenting the promotional success via the accounting system Philip Morris used and tracked the sales representatives' progress files using Excel spreadsheet.

Furthermore, I processed accounts payable and kept inventory of office supplies and ordered them when needed.

Management, the people working there, HR, pretty much any one higher than an SME.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible there is none. Management doesn’t know ho to many so it make everything difficult to come in and work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go in and try to work but then management has you somewhere else where you don’t know the job.

I worked for an analytical team in a regional BU from PMI. While PMI in general does have good structures and provide easy growth opportunities, my BU was not the case and I got into a point in which I was basically confirmed that I wouldn't be able to grow within my own area.

Also the Performance Review sucks, you feel that the work you spent all year doing was unrecognized and that your own opinion on it doesn't matter. It wasn't well-defined either.
