Demanding work environment
Principal Claims Analyst (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 3 April 2018
Demanding work environment that was in constant flux and change resulting in inefficiencies in the workplace that could have been avoided if they spent more time at long term planning.
Pros
Some good people to work with
Cons
demanding work loads
Great people, great work
Account Manger (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 27 February 2017
Amazing team to work with, great work balance, team oriented. Theres always something new to learn. Quick pace work environment, time sensitive with work activation
Pros
flexible work life
Productive & fun workplace
Merchandiser/Visual Marketing (Current Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 22 February 2017
Coca Cola's Merchandisers travel from store to store stocking & building displays to represent the company. Ive learned about marketing in different aspects through building displays & how to attract customers or clients. The hours are long but management is usually flexible & there is no supervision required. The job is not completed until all the work is complete.
Pros
Good pay & no supervision
Cons
Long Hours
Fun place to work
Route Process Administrator (Former Employee) – Calgary AB – 22 February 2017
Repetitive work, lots of cross training, room for growth. Learned lots about the company and there is lots of training online you can take to help you learn more about the company. Hardest part of the job was waiting for all the drivers to come in. I enjoyed the morning part of the job the most, you do all the paperwork before the drivers come in.
Great benefits, poor work culture
Account Manager (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 22 February 2017
Little opportunity for advancement, work culture is exclusionary. Low morale due to lots of lay-offs. Most enjoyable part of the job were my customers.
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Long hours, low morale
Great Company
Account Manager (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 20 February 2017
Coca-Cola is a great company to work for. There are lots of opportunities to advance and there is plenty of support from upper management. The account manager position gives you lots of freedom and the ability to work within your own schedule.

It was a great workplace but I couldn't keep up with my studies and work their because of the shifts, I learned how to work at a high pace packing and delivering pallets , and how to work efficiently in getting the target that we got to aquire
Repetitive, Routinary and No Advancement
Inside Sales Representative (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 30 January 2017
Working in a call Centre, there is no advancement until someone resigns, retires or a new position is opened (that's pretty rare). There is rigidity in career movement. Benefit is good. Relationships are best kept on a professional, polite, friendly but distant manner. Call centre jobs are routine. Employees are trained to do a lot of projects and then are overloaded with such projects. Politics - although discreetly hidden - play a role and could affect your job performance. Under the guise of doing special projects, there are people who tend to gang-up on others to pass the work load to others - as much as they could. You are just a number in this company.
Pros
Good benefits.
Cons
job is repetitive, no career advancement, petty politics, etc
Independent but very disorganized
Merchandiser (Former Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 23 January 2017
The work was physical and you got paid for drive time, but communication with the manager was difficult at best. There were many times where I found myself waiting for an answer and not receiving one. Also found receiving if I was working or not an hour before my shift was obnoxious. Work and pay was good, management was not.
Pros
Paid for drive time
Cons
Communication
Very fun fast pacesd job
Route Processor/ Distribution Administrator (Former Employee) – Regina, SK – 16 January 2017
It is a great energetic company to work for, great perks, free product. Amazing staff. Fast paced but work is fun and different everyday. I liked all the contact with customers. The hardest part of the job was counting all of the coin from the vending machines
Pros
Free lunches and product
Cons
maternity leave coverage
no communication
Merchandiser (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 16 January 2017
A few days of training and they send you out on your own.
Thats ok considering its not difficult to figure out what to do. No communication no set schedule no feeling of job security, feel very unappreciated as an employee. Few hours a week if any. How is anyone supposed to pay bills and live. Pay is very low for the amount of physical labour one must do. Constant turnover of merchandisers. Pepsi pays 40% higher for exact same position.

A place for employment not for careers
Inside Sales Specialist (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 10 January 2017
Day is spent on Outbound/Inbound calls. All is routine; No advancement as people rarely retire/resign. Salary increases could be a "carrot on stick."
Pros
The benefit package is good; free pop everyday, vacation days up to a total of 4 working weeks
Cons
No guarantee for 4 consecutive weeks of vacation, routine job, no advancement, relationships are best kept at a "polite, cordial and purely business" level
