The Coca-Cola Company Reviews

Pros

Company takes the initiative to help you succeed within their cooperation.

Cons

Not very job openings since people that are hired tend to stay.

Advice to Senior Management

Well, this company keeps evolving so people change; however, it's just part of life. And it benefits everyone that remains in the company. I would rather the company would employ more people in USA and less in other countries. Let's try and keep it in our Country so that our Country and succeed! They are a huge part of USA vision. Large companies that succeed because of the USA employees. And, I believe there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians.

Pros

Cons

The are very formal in their business and very conservative. You have to fit in a specific mold to be happy there.

Advice to Senior Management

Dig into how your employees treat each other and external vendors

The thing about Coca Cola is that the distance of powers is very high making it harder to work your way up because you need to establish an above average performance in each level of powers first.

Advice to Senior Management

Learning and development culture. Great brands supported by world class marketing. Great opportunity to experience global practices at meetings attended by employees worldwide.

Cons

Lack of management talent. Those promoted to senior positions are too interested in pursuing their "next promotion" and as a result employee development suffers. Many in management are in functions outside their area of expertise.

Advice to Senior Management

Take back control of the business from the bottler. Hard to understand what happened - bottler acquired to secure "system alignment" with North American strategies. Result: New company (CCR) is now being run by the very people who were the root of the problem. ???

Pros

Relaxed environment and fun atmosphere..sometimes

Cons

No fun when you're a temp. employee

Advice to Senior Management

Hire permanent employees from Temp. staff
