Pros

It is a reputable company which is very loyal to its employees. I have met several employees who have been there for 20 plus years. The Benefits package is amazing. The company car is a nice perk. The gas card doesn't hurt either.

Cons

The travel and the time of hours per week. I didn't realize I would work 60 hours per week. I have to say that though the hours are long, the work is satisfying. I do sometimes feel like a maintainence man then a salesman.

Pros

Free soda, is the only reason I can think of. Stock options for stock that is stagnant.

Cons

It's run like an institution from the 1930's. They walk the halls to see when you come in, leave & return from lunch, etc. yet are always ready to reprimand you if you arrive late. Management tends to bully. Ridiculous hours required to get your work assignments done.

Pros

Recogntion of brand. Ability to make a difference with our customers. The people within the facilities were absolutely great to work with. I am humbled to have worked with such great and hospitable people. The treat visitors from other units and areas with a great deal of respect. At the street level, managers and supervisors really did care for their employees. Unfortunatley, the pressures from Senior Management pressured our sales center managers, DSMs, etc. to manage differently. Some managers were great at shielding their employees from that pressure. Unfortunately, we have a number of managers who did not do enough and were only in it for their own self-preservation.

Cons

Lack of vision and strategy on behalf of senior management. We change our focus like we change our underwear. We also have an inability to have the tough conversation with employees. Many policies take away empowerment from employees. Current management manages according to KBI and scorecards, not to customer feedback. CCE also does a terrible job of recognizing employees. Absolutely no appreciation from the top! The biggest frustration is a lack of focus. CCE does not have a central customer service purpose to go by. On one hand we preach doing anything for the customer, yet we punish our employees when they do because it ruins our KBIs. The hardest thing for employees CCE is work/life balance, especially during the summer. The amount of pay we receive divided by the number of hours worked by employees is commensurate with the effort given. People are very passionate for the brand, but not at the expense of the sacrifice made to get the work done.
