"REY-WARDS": Employee Benefits and Perks

Members of the Reynolds team receive a variety of rewards - or, as we like to say, "REY-wards" - that extend far beyond their regular pay cheques. In addition to salary, employees of Reynolds enjoy:

• A comprehensive benefit package: After your student benefit plan expires and you are no longer eligible to be covered by your parents' plans, you will probably start to realize the true value of a good benefit package! Our full-time associates all receive immediate medical, dental and vision coverage.
  
  
• Employee discounts: Thinking of buying a car? GM and Ford are just two of the companies that offer vehicle purchase discounts to employees of Reynolds. We also receive special discounts on Dell computer purchases and LA Fitness gym memberships, just to name a few!
  
  
• Free doses of caffeine: In the office, coffee, tea and hot chocolate are available to all associates at no charge. It sounds simple but those daily Tim Hortons or Starbucks runs can really add up!
  
  
• Access to a variety of communication tools: Whether you're working from a home office or one of our corporate locations, you'll stay connected with your co-workers and the company through the Reynolds intranet, your personal email account and the Office Communicator. The Communicator is an instant messaging tool that allows you to chat with other employees (always work-related, of course) while getting the job done.
  
  
• "Jeans for a Means" Fridays: As the end of the work week rolls around, we know employees start looking forward to abandoning their professional attire for a more "relaxed" feel. At Reynolds, we invite our office employees to get comfortable one day early by participating in casual Fridays. While we don't condone tracksuits or pajamas in the workplace (sorry), we do encourage employees to contribute $1 in exchange for wearing jeans to work. All proceeds are donated to the charity of the quarter (nominated and voted for by our employees).
  
  
• Additional job-specific perks: Each position within Reynolds also has its own benefits as well. For instance, employees who are required to travel for work may be eligible for a company car - a nice bonus for a new grad who's become accustomed to taking public transit! Some employees receive a company laptop and cell phone to enable them to work outside of the office. Additional perks might include weekends off, flexible scheduling, a company credit card, commissioned earnings/bonuses or paid travel - it all depends on your role in the company!

THE REYNOLDS CURRICULUM: Training of New Hires

Just because you've graduated from College or University doesn't mean your education stops there - but this time, you'll be paid to learn (rather than the other way around)! Reynolds cultivates a continuous learning environment to help employees stay intellectually challenged, self-motivated and professionally rewarded. Opportunities exist to learn through:

• Classroom training: Many of our employees participate in classroom training programs to build technical knowledge and core competencies such as team behaviours and marketing skills. Some employees even attend courses at our internal university located at company headquarters in Dayton, Ohio. Course material might include our company, industry, clients (dealerships) and how they function, Reynolds products and the development of job-related skills for success. We even have our own residence accommodations and dining facilities on campus. Hey new grads, sound familiar?
  
  
• eLearning: We provide hundreds of e-learning and computer-based training options to allow you to learn at your own pace, place and time. Virtual classes can increase your knowledge of a specific product, process or professional skill and are attended during work hours.
• On-the-job training: What better way to learn than by shadowing the "pros"? Much of your job training will be of the hands-on, practical nature - it will take place on the job with your co-workers and manager as they show you how it's done.

GROW WITH US: Opportunities for Advancement

Ever heard of starting at the bottom and working your way to the top? At Reynolds, that's exactly what we encourage our employees to do. We hire for entry-level positions externally and then promote from within the company for higher-level positions. This means that although you may start in a very junior role at Reynolds, you will be recognized for what you know and how you apply that knowledge to benefit our company and our clients.

"REY-VENTS": Company Fun Past Five

When you're part of the Reynolds team, the fun doesn't stop at the end of the work day. We offer a number of company and social events for your enjoyment.

• Quarterly Updates and Awards: Each quarter, employees in the Mississauga and Montréal offices gather for a presentation on recent company news and employee recognition, including the Associate of the Quarter award. The presentation is followed by an opportunity to socialize with co-workers and enjoy some complimentary refreshments of course!
  
  
• Sporting Events: For those aspiring athletes who chose to pursue a career with Reynolds rather than taking their talents to the pro leagues, we organize a variety of sporting events each year. Employees can showcase their skills in our annual golf tournament, baseball games, bowling matches or the most heated of the Reynolds events: the Sales vs. Service Hockey Game!
  
  
• Summer Barbecues and Holiday Potlucks: They say the way to your employees' hearts is through their stomachs. Okay - so that may not be how the saying goes, but we do take advantage of any opportunity we can to arrange company feasts! We hold company-sponsored barbecues throughout the summer at our Mississauga and Montréal locations and organize potluck meals for many major occasions throughout the year, including Thanksgiving, Easter and Hallowe'en.
  
  
• Departmental team building events: Each department has its own set of team activities that employees organize and participate in each year as well. Once you're hired, you can see what your department has in store for you!

REYNOLDS RETURNS: Extending the Company Spirit Outside of the Office

As part of our team, you will have the opportunity to participate in a number of initiatives designed to "give back" to our communities.

• "Jeans for a Means" Weekly Program: The proceeds of this weekly "dress down for a dollar" office program are donated to a different charity each quarter - nominated and voted for by our employees. The 2010 benefactors included the Haiti Relief Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society.
  
  
• "Spirit of Giving" Annual Campaign: Christmas of 2009 marked Reynolds' second annual toy drive, with our employee donations being used to create almost 300 holiday gift bags for in-patients of Sick Kids Hospital.
