Pros
It's a job. In today's economy, gainful employment is at a premium. The brand is ubiquitous and will be around long after I'm dead and gone. The benefits are what you would expect from a large corporation.
Cons
Uncertainty about the future direction of the company. Lack of a coordinated plan and strategic direction from senior management. KO and CCE seem to be at odds over what needs to be done to create growth and profitability which causes turmoil, rumors, distrust, etc. Pay is lower than comparable positions in my market, people are being laid off and sales centers are being closed, is mine next?
