Coca-Cola is one of those brands everyone recognizes, and that alone makes people feel safe working there. Holidays off, name recognition, and a sense that the company will always be around. But lately it feels like that security comes with a lot of strings attached. Constant cost cutting, re-orgs every other year, benefits quietly reduced, and reimbursement rules changing without much warning. The culture also feels very self focused, especially in sales. People aren’t collaborating, they’re competing in a way that feels unhealthy. It’s less about doing good work and more about protecting your own spot.
