Pros

For the work, the pay is excellent. Check is in the bank every Friday. Not much thought required to be good at most of the jobs here. Benefits and retirement are top notch. It's like a union job without those pesky union dues.

Cons

They call it "Work-Life Balance". We call it "Work-Work Balance". Everything is seniority based, regardless of experience and many of the people who have been here for 15-20 years are apathetic. I have never heard of so many people using FMLA to get time off than this place. Can't just take a sick day or personal time off without some kind of reprimand (aka: "occurance") and of course it's all unpaid without a doctor's note. Lowest seniority often forced to work their days off. Frequent mandatory meetings outside of regular work hours (albeit paid overtime).

Pros

The pay is great and is generally on the higher side. Senior management at the highest levels have a good vision for the future and are surprisingly accessible for a company of this size. Many resources available to use for selling.

Cons

Beverages are generally in decline in the North American market due to health/wellness and environmental factors. Soda still comprises a majority of the share of the company. Macro factors will continue to drive sales down. Most efforts on the Sales side do not seem to have a significant impact on the overall portfolio due to the immense size of the overall volume. Need to be an agressive networker to succeed. They preach inclusion of all types of personalities but it comes down to who likes you at the end of the day - no different than most other companies.
