Very political
Inside Sales Representative (Current Employee), Tulsa, OK – April 10, 2013
Pros: project time aka, time off the phones
Cons: politics
Great work environment, with easy going people/management. It is definately a place that if you want to move up, then it's time to suck up. Unfortunately, no everyone is like that, so there are a lot of awesome people that will never move up.

They treat their employees and customers terrible!
Distribution Supervisor (Former Employee), Fredericksburg VA – April 8, 2013
Pros: great benifits, health medical 401k.
Cons: comapny bullying. from the top down.
This company doesn't know if they are coming or going. I was actually bullied into resigning. Because my boss was not able to handle the situation he had to make it look as if I could not handle my job when in fact HE could not handle his job. He bullied two of my employees in to quitting and then couldn’t figure out why the job wasn't getting done. – more... I had to run two full routes (The two employees my boss bullied in to quitting) in addition to my regular job duties. Because my boss had no idea of how to run the department I was in he simply let the wheels come off and blamed me. I contacted HR and was ignored, I also told other upper management about the issues and they also ignored my issues. They have far too few employees to run the business and the good ones quit due to this reason. I worked a hard 15 years at this company and this is how they treat you. I have 3 other employees who can tell you the same story. One was there a lot longer than I and the two drivers who were bullied into leaving. It is a shame to have worked so hard to get where I did with nothing but success for 15 years until the bully boss came along. He still works there and from the contact I still have nothing has changed, I still have never received a call from HR. If this is the kind of company you would like to work for more power to you. – less

Great place to work
Sales Route Driver (Former Employee), Houston, TX – April 3, 2013
Pros: great products, advertising, relationship building with customers, work relationship with co workers.
Cons: coca cola is a company that focuses more on their products and advertising, whether focusing on their employees pay benefits and incentives.
A typical work day consist of being at work promptly at 05:30 and leaving by 6 pm. One thing that i have learned from Coca Cola is to always keep your goal in mind. The managers at Coca Cola focused strongly on their companies goals. Co worker were friendly, but the hardest part of the day was the Texas heat; however the most enjoyable part of the job – more... was the company i represented. – less

Horrible work atmosphere
Pallet Builder (Former Employee), Cincinnati, OH – April 1, 2013
Pros: great pay
Cons: no life, always tired, no days off, hostile environment, management treats you like unhumane.
Trying to get in the union at Coke was an eye opening experience. Your forced overtime 16 hour day consists of building pallets of product for shipment to local stores. Its also a cases per hour type of job. Breaks are short for the length of time you are constantly running to make your quota. Its a very physically demanding job. Say goodbye to your – more... life and family. if you are single and no kids you might like it.But be perpared for the HOSTILE union work environment. its and us against them mentality there. Its my overall most hated job but the money was great. – less

productivity and possibilities
forklift operator @ warehouse (Former Employee), Blackheath,Western Cape,Cape Town – March 29, 2013
Pros: educational support, free daily meals and acces to drinkage
Cons: severe pressure
the typical day as a forklift operator in the warehouse starts not a minute after 7o'clock when each operator do his/hers random checks on the forklift.The manager will then delegate the days work according to the importancy of the awaiting daily tasks.Since there is always pressure,and the warehouse staff stretch to the minimum,u must work as a team.Good – more... communication should also persists in order to achieve in time deliveries without any shortages.the operators must also do correct stock rotation(where dates of a certain product are stacked from old to new).Management are continueosly under pressure to keep company losses minimal,but must also motivates his workers to keep up productivity.Meaning quantity=qaulity.You and your co-workers should operate as a well oiled machine.Co-workers should be like family where being a teamplayer is of the outmost importance to a productive warehouse.Being constantly under pressure can sometimes be very straining on employees,so to keep motivated and positive under all the screams and shouting surely are the hardest part of the job.The most enjoyable part of the job is working with alot of proffesional colleagues and sharing a cold drink during break times to blow of sum steam and learning about other departments in the company... – less
