Experiences at Coca-Cola Enterprises

My last position at Coca-Cola was as the Distribution District Manager in charge of coordinating the route drivers for the DC, Metro area. I had four distribution supervisors who managed our team of drivers. I was also in charge of the Special Events Department, in which my staff coordinated local events such as: Stone Soul Picnic, A Taste of DC, Adams Morgan Day and the list goes on. I also served as the District Manager, in charge of Merchandising, before I was promoted to Distribution Manager. As Merchandiser District Manager, I managed four distribution supervisors, with the responsibilty of merchandising all chain stores (Giant, Safeway, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Magruders etc.) in the DC, Metro area....

The secret to getting hired at Coca-Cola is a positive attitude about performing a day to day task and a stable work history. Coca-Coca hires individuals who are responsible, respectful to others, and especially customer service oriented. A typical Coca-Cola driver must be on time to work and also possess the ability to manage their daily work load, without a supervisor looking over their shoulder....

Great to be in the Union, but alot of problems when it comes to scheduling. Not only that, NO company vehicle are available for merchandiser, as for Pepsi Co. High pay but lack of interest for employee needs. So much for being in the Union.
