The Coca-Cola Company FAQ

Pros

Big Company has a lot of fair policies in place like paid holidays and opportunities for overtime.

Cons

Company makes business moves that do not benefit employees

Pros

They had really good benefits like free beverages and nice gifts on Christmas.

Cons

I really thought they care more about people. They don't listen, even when they publicly express to have "excellent HR processes" or "diversity". I was almost fired being pregnant.

Advice to Management

Humans are not number, family work-life balance matters.

Pros

Flexible work schedule & great benefits package

Cons

Long hours are an expected part of the culture

Advice to Management

Focus on instilling a culture where work-life balance is valued.

Pros

Company has provided lunch, dental, vision and health insurance and many other benefits

Cons

No negative sides were observed

Pros

The Coca-Cola Company is a wonderful place to work. The vast majority of the people are fantastic and hard working. The benefits are really good including an expanded parental leave policy. People like Kathleen Ciaramello, Chaley Jo Moyen and Jim Dinkens are (were) great leaders who cared.

Cons

Company politics carried far too much weight though perhaps the CEO is trying to change that to some extent. Some of the middle management makes you wonder how they were promoted. There is no on site child care as other companies have.

Advice to Management

There's no advice to give at the moment as a large reorg was announced and 4,000 people across the country are being offered voluntary packages. It will be a very different company when this is complete.
