Forget "Open Happiness". "No happiness" is the true slogan at Coca-Cola Refreshments
Pros
Beyond saying you worked for the Coca-Cola Company, there are none. Getting this company on your resume will provide other opportunities outside the company. Maximize your time at the company and leverage the remaining resources.
Cons
Since the integration, when CCE merged with The Coca-Cola Company, everything has eroded: salaries, benefits, training and development, and upward mobility. Anything that did, can, and could create happiness is cut to save money including jobs. The current environment includes: - Restructuring every 2 to 3 years with management looking for short-term ways to save money at the expense of employees - No work life balance - Constant turnover and hiring freezes leaving remaining team to shoulder workload - Annual merit increases in 2 to 3% range or less for new hirers - U.S. lack of full bonus payout - Difficulty getting basic equipment - No cross functional opportunities This isn't the Open Happiness Factory.
