Pros

not many. very little training, no recognizable value. benefits are great if your an exec. great product line if you like coke products

Cons

wow. this will take a little while. No employee support from management, Nobody will take responsibility for there own mistakes, Supervisors are only interested in there own little world which is why support is almost non-existent. If you question anything no matter how absurd it might be you are labeled with a bad attitude. If you stand up for yourself, bad attitude. Constant demeaning comments from supervisor, constant threats of "corrective action" if forces beyond your control make finishing your assigned duties impossible. logistics is a joke. open door policy is stated but never enforced. getting ready to lay-off 2k workers but execs can't take limos to meeting anymore. I could go on but I think point is made

Pros

You can put Coca-Cola on your resume when you figure out that the culture and direction the company is heading is not conducive to a long term healthy career. Get the experience and get out.

Cons

Delivery. Unions will be eliminated within a few years to make way for a centralized distribution model. Drivers need to assess their future now. You are Coca Cola's most expensive liability; tractor, trailer, benefits, pay. You will be replaced by a third party courier as soon as the union is gone. You thought losing your 401K match was bad, just wait. They WILL eliminate unions. Sales/Management Technology advancements will eliminate 1/3 of the Account Management staff. Roles will continue to be eliminated resulting in additional work loads for those remaining. Pay. Below the industry average for all sales & management roles. Overworked and underpaid.

Layoffs, layoffs, layoffs!

Pros

- There are some good people at the company. - Global brands - Exposure to working with people in other countries. - Lots of opportunity, if you are willing to move - Good compensation structure, pension, 401K - Strong ethical culture - They have formal flexible work arrangement programs

Cons

- They lack a long term strategy beyond laying people off. I worked there 6 years and saw at least one to two mass layoffs per year, including some very good people. I was not laid off, but would probably have been if I had stayed. - It is impossible to move up in the company if you don't want to move to Atlanta. - It is difficult to get anything done because there are so many layers of process/approvals - A lot of silos and multiple groups doing the same thing - Some managers won't let you take advantage of the flexible work arrangement programs. - No lactation program, no child care discounts, not on the "Great Places to Work", or "Best Companies for Working Moms", or any of those other lists. - Very tight with money, no holiday parties or anything. - There is no formal career coaching program.
