Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. Employer Reviews

Great developmental opportunities, however the work in this particular role was redundant

gone from being a great company to work for to a company that DOES not care about their employees

Coca Cola Enterprises is a friendly and fun company to work for. Line management displays knowledge of their duties and are genuinely interested in their employees, and this show of responsibility is pervasive throughout the company.

The company president is great and I love their purpose statement.

Really fun place to work at, everything revolves around familiy.

loading trucks,and the line with product.The management was fun,co-workers were great to be around .The hardest part of the job was the long night hours,the different contest that would go on in the plant.

I enjoyed working at Coca-Cola Enterprises. However, the pay was not reasonable.

Many of the employees have worked 15-40 years and have seen the changes made throughout the Coca-Cola Industry first hand. All employees including myself seem to be very happy and get along great with eachother. The hardest part of my job is working the graveyard/over night shift which is hard for family time.

Out among the people. Merchandising and stocking shelves

Build displays in stores and built customer relations.

Coca-Cola is a global-brand that will never go away, and is large across the board. CCE is now in charge of all western Europe operations of Coke, and Coca-Cola Refreshments (CCR) is now focused on US operations for Coke and various other subsidiaries. That being said, my experiences are with CCR.

So, worlds most recognized brand. Huge customer for – more...  global IT and software vendors. Major enterprise-level environments. Pretty fresh hardware and technology. But the core business isn't IT or innovation in IT - It's selling softdrinks, and is based out of the south, and as such there tends to be some cultural/management hangups working there in IT, when it comes to employee satisfaction, change or thinking outside of the box.

The company as a whole views IT as an expense, like many other businesses, and there seems to be a feeling that you're the "red headed stepchild" - not given the same appreciation and respect of the big downtown offices and marketing/merchandising folks. A lot of people in the IT area here are old-timers - they've been here for 5~10+ years and many come from various non-technical and other old-school technical backgrounds, don't seem to adapt well, yet are now into management and senior level engineering roles. Also, lots of trust issues between employees and management makes the drive for change a bit challenging.

A typical day for me is, on average, 30% change management, paperwork, and processes that has nothing directly to do with being technical. 50% is actual technical work - ranging from diagnosis and problem solving to system management and architecture. The remaining 20% is meetings and related functions.

Work-life balance is getting thinner and thinner - skewing more towards work in your personal time. On-call is a given in IT fields, but management has been pushing more and more after-hours and weekend work, in addition to a normal workweek. Comp-time is at the discretion of the manager but never a given, and often unrecognized. Some managers allow for work-from-home, some don't... it's all about their personality.

It's nice being able to tell people anywhere in the world that you work for Coca-Cola, and they know exactly who that is. But giving your life up to people and management who never really appreciate it is the main problem. – less

working with regular customer whom I developed a relationship with

A typical day would include a conference call among single divisions of either small store or Large store account managers involving push items, individual route status, promotional updates and progress towards weekly goals.

I've learned in the beverage industry that time management is of the essence, being that a shipment being correct and on time – more...  is important to so many departments and levels impacted.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the opportunity to sell one of the most visible and popular marketed products in the world and the least enjoyable is the early mornings and the late evenings. – less

Wake up early in the morning around 4am sometimes working 12 hours a day then having to wake up at 4am again the next morning to do the same thing, The management is excellent they seem to care about how you feel and try to work with you if you have a situation that comes up. You mostly work alone and you only meet your co workers during company meetings. – more...  The hardest part of the job is having to work during the summer when stores have huge sales on soda during the summer holidays. The most enjoyable part is the amount of freedom that you get. – less

Coca-Cola is a good company to work for. Management is the biggest stress causer. Advancement in the company is easy if you are willing to relocate.

Upper management needs to work with HR because they are not fair with Everyone

Its an independant workforce and values alot of the companies creed and missions of success for their customers. They have a good pay rate but the hours arent plentiful for each employee

Overall, this is a good company to work for, however there has been a recent trend of promoting new hires and passing over the veterans. This is causing a massive exodus from the long term employees.

when i started was young and loved the exp and time learn alot bout shipping

I assist in the supervision of over fifteen delivery drivers, do inventory control, daily reports using Microsoft Excel, Email, and Fax. I collabarate with Drivers, Cash Office, and Distribution Manager to ensure timely delivery of cash safe to remote cash office. Assist Distribution Manger with daily tasks. Cash reconcilition for Drivers at end of – more...  their day, Order supplies, and secure facility at the end of each shift.

I have learned alot about Distribution, Logistics, and how a large company operates.

Work with Management on a daily basis and do what is asked of me to help company safe money.

I think my job is easy, I enjoy a challange and would like to change careers.

I enjoy working with people, consider myself a people person, very out going. – less

Liked working there. Management worked with you in case of needed time off for appointments.
