As of 7/8/2022 Coca-Cola just fired me an hour ago, they said I've had "attendance issues" yet I've only missed 2 days and when I pointed out I was literally sick they went to "yea Publix called and complained 3 times" those managers will get you fired because they hate their job. I literally went behind 2 route owners that kept their backroom horrible and I'd get it looking good, even the receiving guy said "we'd rather have you over the actual route owner". He is 100% right about the hours and pay, you can work your azz off and the pay does not reflect it plus the wear and tear on your body isn't worth it... I even had a former Coke guy tell me he had 3 hip surgeries from working at Coca-Cola and that "it isn't worth it young blood". They didn't even give detail and I know exactly what shitty dude called and complained... I busted my ass getting that back room right after they complained about the actual route owner. Def slave work and Coca-Cola gives 0 fucks about you or your health, they just want their product on them shelves.

I worked at Coke over 10 years ago, and our daily rate was $125 with flexible workweek overtime (meaning we did not get paid time in a half). My situation was similar to yours with working 60-70 hours a week, not being paid fairly, toxic management at stores and Coke, rarely getting to see my friends and family, and limited opportunities for advancement. After quitting Coke, I went back to school, learned a new skill, and started a new career. My life and job satisfaction are much better now, but it is disappointing to see some Coca-Cola shops treat their employees poorly. Thank you for your video.

How are you my brother? I know exactly what you’re talking about. I retired from Coca Cola in 2005. Along with that I ended up having knee, hip, two umbilical hernia surgeries and three shoulder surgeries throughout the years not to mention I ended up in Sheppard Pratt. I lost everything and damn near lost my life. They’re were days I didn’t think I was going to make it. When DOT required logging we were dropping like flies come Wednesday because of the hours we worked. I can’t remember the exact year but it was a horrible blizzard and there was no getting out, my supervisors constantly were ringing my phone telling me to get my ass in. Eventually he called and said there’s no work today. Anyway, my point is, I was in the laundry room and looked at my wife and asked “who’s bra is that on the line? “She looked at me with this a perplexed look and said “honey that your daughters bra“. Need I say more my brother. Take care. Oh! By the way, Walmart was one of the absolute worst store to service. Just my opinion. And I’m glad I’m out!

I got hurt at work twice and had doctors excuses for all the days I missed but they still didn’t care, they fired me! I was 4 days away from completing my 90 day probation period. I never took a lunch break lol we had to go in at 5am over here and I commuted 40 minutes to my route everyday. So wake up at 4am everyday, was off Tuesday and Wednesday. 10 hour days everyday. Feet would be killing me and I’d sleep everyday after work for a few hours because I’d be so sleepy from getting 5-6 hours a night It’s not worth it unless you NEED the job. I’m in college still and wanted to try it out so I don’t care that I lost the job. The reason for firing me was bullshit anyways! I guess doctors excuses don’t matter now a days

The job sucks. I worked there for a month and went back to my grocery store job when they wanted me back. You make good money but that’s only when you work a shit load of overtime 60+ a week. And they tell you after you get hired that you’re gonna have to be working 6 days a week 10 hour days but those 10 hour days turn into 14 lol. My first week I had 4 different people asking if I was gonna quit yet. Awful and negative atmosphere. Everyone’s constantly arguing with each other and they expect you to work like 15 hours a day just to finish a store and you have 3-5 stores a day. It’s an impossible job because they can’t keep people because of the work load plus they held my first check and I spent 150 dollars just on gas and had to borrow money just to get to work until I got paid. Bullshit. They need to rethink that entire job role and at least supply a company vehicle for you to use.

This meant working the hours they expected meant they were paying really well. But yeah, just too many 6 day weeks, too many 10+ hour days. Not enough help, no bonuses other than a free t shirt here and there. Coca cola is imo a terrible company to work for and I'm glad to be done.

But if you look at the bright side you should look up to your coworkers as your family. Why because you and your coworkers spend more time with each other and everybody gets paid the same amount and everybody pays union depts to project there jobs.

Yes, you don't have the back-breaking factor, but you have the mental draining factor. Work, in general, sucks. I've worked both office-type jobs and warehouse-type jobs(including Sears and Cape Cod Potato, Chips~which was owned by Campbell's Soup when I worked for them). Both had long hours, the warehouse was good because I didn't deal with customers, or phones, but it killed my back, and the steel-toed boots hurt my feet. You gotta do what's best for you and your situation.

I worked in the Coke FL distribution in Tampa worst place ever. Forklift drivers drove to fast never used horns same with power jack drivers. Manager doesn't care if you are threatened by other employees give bigger work to same employees who brake the rules to where you can't make any more than $15 which is bs

I’ve worked for Coca Cola for 8 months and can’t wait to quit one day. As soon as I find another home daily job I’m gone. We’re so understaffed that we’re all working 65+ hours a week. Also our supervisor is a route driver but management wants him at the facility half the day so our supervisor splits half his truck load up with us. We’re lucky if we deliver just under 600 cases a day. Don’t work for Coke.

I work for Coca Cola in 2015 as a store merchandise and it was the worst job I ever had my hour rate was 18 dollars I was doing about 45 to 55 hours a week and after all deductions I was taken home only $388.00 a week I only work for about 10 months and I regret not leaving sooner I guess I though it would get better but it didn’t it only got worst my supervisor was sending me to stores about 45 to 50 minutes from my house and I would have to pay my own has because they would only pay my miles once I get to the first store to the second store i do not recommend Coca Cola to nobody they will under pay you for sure

Reading the comments about fritolay- I definitely dodged a bullet by not getting hired by them. I interviewed with them a couple years ago and they treated me like they didn't even want me to be there. I've been a merchandiser for another popular brand for 5 years now and I'm officially sick of merchandising. The crap that merchandisers have to put up with is just unacceptable and not even worth what they pay us. I'm always tired from the job and have no life at all. I'm ready to go and desperately looking for a solution.

Wow bro your story was heartbreaking. I have anxiety attacks too sometimes so I definitely feel your pain. I got a question for you, how was the gate checker position at Coca Cola, because I just got a offer from Pepsi as a gate checker, it pays 22.40 a hr on possibly a 3rd shift and during the interview, the guy told me that I would have to work overtime. I also got an offer from Db schenker and they only work 3-4 days a week on 12 hr shifts. I don't know which job that I want to actually take. DB pays 18.50 thur-sat and every other Wednesday. Do you think I should take the Pepsi role or db driving forklift?

The other day they gave me a 16.5 hour route, expected me to get back to the warehouse in 12 hours then got pissed when people called in on me cause i dropped everything, didnt stock a single thing. Like what do you expect when i have a route so long its illegal

Brother I feel your pain. Funny enough Im a part time merchandiser at Pepsi and I can tell you for certain that I’ve easily made close to 500 dollars in just three days. I’ve heard so many nightmares about coke. A lot of part timers at pepsi came from coke and they all tell me their horror stories lol. I even have had so many coke recruiters trying to sell me the dream like most companies and i ran as fast as I could. But tbh that’s just the nature of being merch. Don’t get me wrong, pepsi is a little bit more smoother with certain aspects but it’s still is not all peaches and cream. I’m honestly over it myself.

To be honest it's not a job you want to make as a career (coca cola) just get the experience and that will definitely open the doors to bigger and better companies
