Former Employee – worked at Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – When out in the " trade ", you avoided upper management.

Cons – The Southern California part of the business is built on riding the backs of your subordinates. I once casually mentioned to a Senior Vice President what a good job one individual was doing. His reply was " I only want to here about who's not doing a good job". Your bonus was based on certain criteria, as with any company. The problem was that they would change the criteria to suit the Branch after the qualified period had ended, usually costing you most if not all of your bonus. This was by far one of the worst companies I ever had the displeasure of working with. Take some good advice and stay away from this company unless you like high stress, low pay and bad working conditions.

Advice to Senior Management – Atlanta.... Take a closer look at your management team in Southern California if you really even care at all.

Pros – Your time as an account manager is very flexible, and quotas are laid out clearly and are achivable. Good 401k, health and vacation benefit package. Auto reimbersement plus miliage.

Cons – When the micro managing starts it gets hecktic and last for a long period of time. Management can be very involved when trade visits arise, and usually leave you with a unwelcoming situation with clients and customers.
