The Coca-Cola Company Reviews

Pros

It's truly global, communications and teams are spread around the world, our coverage is larger than NATO
Awesome people to work with

Cons

Candor is asked but not really encouraged.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop sugarcoating status and start encouraging candor with real actions.

Pros

The brand of course. It's been around since I was born. Stability. Strength and History are the best characteristics. and of Course the drink.

Cons

The company needs to be more competitive with their salaries. I'm not saying ridiculous amounts but enough that they won't look elsewhere. Also they need to stop over extending their workers as far as giving the work of 3 people to 1 person and expecting it to get done and without error. Not reasonable.

Advice to Senior Management

You really need to get hands on with an operations. . .work for about a week as the supervisor or worker ans see exactly some of the things your asking of your employees and go from their.

Pros

Diversely rich and filled with varying ideas, Coca Cola's legal department is the perfect place for emerging legal students to see if the corporate environment is right for them.

Cons

It is difficult to interview with the Coca Cola company. Moreover, it's even harder to find links to employment opportunities.

Pros

small fish in a big pond
great pay
everything you need is on campus (Atlanta)

Cons

slow to change
leadership (in my group) was unwilling to ask for or accept feedback from "drones"
benefits no longer better than other similar-sized companies

Pros

Salary, Bonus, Many of the people, Brands

Cons

Management does not value the people in the organization. People are disposable. Advancement and retention is based on who you know not performance. No accountability evident in operation of the business

Advice to Senior Management

Start over. Significant rework around accountability in evaluating who will move the company forward. Not likely to happen until a significant outside group of management takes over.

Pros

Opportunity to work with several of the top brands in the entire word and best distribution and route to market structure.

Cons

Not a 360 business approach as every person is in charge of very specializad activities and responsabilities. Decition is not 100% of the company (bottler system)

Advice to Senior Management

More support to the franchise units operations. Too big structures in business units in comparisson to structure in local franchise units.

Pros

Company recognititon-great on resume for future reference

Cons

Large company, competition is fierce

Advice to Senior Management

Be more transparent

Pros

Coca-Cola Company has a great reputation.
It's a truly global company - you work with people from all over the world.
Great people

Cons

Company politics are over the top. Coke is a "relationship" company - not a process-focused company which can make it difficult to get things done if you don't know people.

Pros

Top notch and passionate employees
As a finance associate I was treated as a key part of the team

Cons

Limite upward mobility
Interview selection process is a joke. There are race quotas in place.
It's scary to work in a NA business that is not growing

Advice to Senior Management

Move people around more often
Stop promoting on race. They have gone from one extreme to the other.

Pros

benefits, pay, perks, cafe & cleaners on site

Cons

long hours
expectation to handle everything
mistakes are not tolerated
