The Coca-Cola Company Employer Reviews

I was not comfortable spending all of my work hours apolagizing for late deliveries or constant customer complaints, not happy with the way coca cola handles it's clients.

Management is very strict and not very friendly. They don't really help with employee needs/ problems instead tell you to deal with it.

You would think working for Coke would be great! But it is terrible in Brampton, by far the worst I have ever worked for......

A typical day is a typical night for me. I dispatch nights . My day is very full and I pretty much work straight thru, no time for lunch or breaks. I absolutely love what I do . The most enjoyable part of my day is working with the other distribution centers. The guys I work with always put a smile on my face.
The hardest part I guess is working long – more... hours.
I have great co workers and we are a good team and that is very important in my job.

I have learned so much in this position, It has increased my computer skills and has taught me to work under extreme pressure. – less

By far the most un-organized place I have seen! The senior leadership is out of touch with what is going on and the poor hourly people take the brunt of it, I now understand why they need a Union. In my opinion if you currently have a job the grass is not greener here, expect long hours, verbal abuse and very little recognition for your efforts. I have – more... seen very high turnover in the salary work force and the Corporation does nothing about it, even the HR team does not react to all the mis-treated people and their issues. Honestly I would not recommend this as a place to work unless you are desperate for work. The big red machine is turning many people Blue. – less

It all depends on what department your in and your management. but not a lot of room for advancement. They are very sales driven so watch out if your not the pushy sales type.

receive orders and build them on a pallet using a power jack to be put on trucks to deliver to stores

Worked on several different canning lines, feed boxes on canning line while operting it. Watch glue levels and used can tops on operating line.

Learned how to stop and start canning line.

Worked on can placement for management.

Co-workers were helpful and friendly.

Understanding different cultures, such as language barriers.
was the hardest part – more... of the job.

Clean work enviorment. – less

As a delivery driver you are to finish your route, management are decent people that have moved up the ranks. Physically demanding, You do get to meet a lot of different people and you are always in a different area of the city

My co-workers and hourly staff are all fantastic. Learned more about cash balancing and AR/AP.

As a company that is struggling to figure out how to get product to customers in a timely manner, many extra hours were required.

loading unloading trailers, auditing pick tickets to ensure accuracy,cycle counts, management was great as well as the workers

I would drive to different cities, depending on the schedule, ranging from Belleville to Brockville. I would go to different stores that sold Coca-Cola products such as Wal-Mart and Metro and restock all of Coca-Cola's product while keeping the back tidy. I would travel alone and work alone while keeping track of the time I spent at each store and the – more... mileage I drove. I would deal with the store managers to get a signature or approval that my duties were complete. The hardest part of the job is to start my day near the same time as a truck arrival. This is because if I came in too early I would not have much to do until the truck came and if I came too late I would have to work extra fast due to the fact that other trucks for different companies were also arriving. The most enjoyable part of this job is that I got to meet and work with different managers from different stores. Also I enjoyed driving to different cities which always kept me busy. – less

18 hours of driving each day from Cape Town to George. We have very little correspondence with management. We as co- workers have a good understanding with each other. I get very little sleep and communication between office staff and the drivers is most of the time very bad. I suppose I could say the benefits, such as medical aid etc and the fact that – more... enjoy my job. – less

Great salary
Shift work
Long / unstable hours
Opportunity for advancement

The sale managers Were ok but upper management seemed uptight as expected. For a company that rakes in millions you would think that they could afford to pay a decent wage, a typical day would be walking around a store for 4 to 6 miles inside the stores stocking shelves and displays. The people I worked with were fun but seemed stressed all the time. – more... The hardest part of the job was constantly organizing messed up pallets of product and dealing with contant overstock. Coming to work at 5 AM gets old when you gets split days off and have to work very hard for 9.50 an hour. Pepsi pays their employees much better, you will regret doing this kind of work for low pay when you see guys for pepsi making almost twice as much as you do for doing the same exact thing. Supervisors do not care about work life balance and expect you to work grueling hours at their conveinace , I took the job because it was part time and was working another full time job but coke did not seem to care about my other schedule. Thank god I found another job because being a coke merchandiser is a nightmare come true. – less

I enjoyed my entire time I worked with the company and it has a great work life balance program.

Very big company to work for. Excellent marketing and wonderful company to work for

This job is back breaking and you have to make production carrying heavy crates of sodas. the manager on cares for his self.

A lot of childish actions between the new and the old and there insistent desire to complain to management

Great environment with creative minds that love to work hard and see reults while having fun.
