Pros

If push comes to shove, you can usually get off early for a doctor's appointment or to pick up your kid. Its a paycheck.

Cons

Little to no respect from upper management. No matter how hard you work or how much the customers love you, the only recognition from upper management is negative - On that note, they have no problem throwing you under the bus if they themselves coming under fire. The management style is fear tactics - potential job loss is constantly used for "motivation." The customers we sell to are grossly overcharged for their products (they can find the same products cheaper with middle-men than direct from our warehouses!). Coke's gross profit markup is at least 200%, but they expect customers to retail with just a 20% (at best) markup. If a customer refuses, Coke pulls their already overpriced pricing. If the big wigs come to town, expect to work extra hours (beyond the expected 7-5 shift) for several weeks prior. The day before major holidays, expect to be required to stock shelves at a grocery store after your shift (being salaried, they don't have to pay you anything extra - if they sent the actual Coke stockers to do it, they'd have to pay the stockers their hourly wage) ***Honestly, I could go on and on, but I'll leave you with just these Cliffnotes. Hopefully this is enough.***
