- I finally did it! I made a promise to myself that I would chase my dreams. Life is too short to live with regrets, sometimes you have to take a leap of faith!

worked irrigation, building maintenance job for 7 years of my life. Working 55-65 hours a week. In the BLISTERING sun, digging with a shovel pretty much nonstop. That shit will tear you down.
I do not think getting an education is key to getting a good job but since I graduated with my degree, along with my experience of course, I’ve been in warehouse management, division manager, inventory and parts manager.
Sometimes you have to struggle/work hard to make money. Do it because in the end, when you look back on it, you’ll understand how important that moment was for you.
I think you said it wrong I think it what you meant was do it so when you look back you can see how much your life you wasted at that bs job🤣🤣
Been at the same company, you hit it right on the nail! The physical exhaustion daily was horrible- granted, I was in the best shape of my life! In my middle 40’s now.
Dude you describe my experience with Coke perfectly bro- everything from the backstabbing to dreading work. I didn’t wanna get out of bed in the morning. Back to running my roadside truck
I can totally relate to your story bro. I used to work for Frito-lay in 2003, it was brutal! Its a hard job, i know Coke is a brutal company I almost worked for them. I put myself through school doing that kind of work, so my advice would be to go back to school! That can open the doors for some new opportunities!
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.
10 years?? You’re a soldier
@@danielvaladez3385 they still have Chinese overtime
I feel your pain man. I did the same thing for budweiser. When they see you can handle the easy route you get moved to harder routes .. too much work not worth it
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.
Stop lying. I'm the one that fire you
You there to get in then get out
was fired too at coke this month as a order builder i was literally the number 1 loader picker and i get accused of some bullshit by people who don’t work
@@greatoozaru it's crazy right
@@kevanbane trash, fired me after one month and im hitting goal everyday on time didn’t call out lol
I’m working at coke as a merchandiser right now and I hate it so much. I don’t feel like I’m getting fit from it I just feel like my body is breaking down from the 12 hr shifts in 90-100 degree weather. I’m trying to get out of there but I’m tired of 9-5’s too. I wanna do something I actually love so I’m trying to figure things out. I’d love to hear stories you have from working there though lol. Hope things are still going good for you
It’s definitely not for everyone. Save up what you can and put it towards what you want to do
I feel you pain I work for Coca Cola as a merch back in 2015 and I was taken home about $388 a week I only work their for 10 months and I regret not quitting sooner
I would suggest going back to school and figure it out from there. Meanwhile, you can find another job that your are able to take classes while you are working. Thats the best decision if you do not have a family! I worked for Frito-lay same drama
I’m guessing Pepsi is different because I hear they get overtime
I start orientation on June 4th u got me spooked 😂, but good luck to u brother I found you to be very positive and enlightening, attitude is altitude and I believe with a good and great attitude nothing can stop us 💪🏾💯
How’s it going there?
I was at Coca-Cola United for 15 years as a merchandiser, account manager, and sales supervisor, and everything that you said was spot on. I always said that the people made the job 100% f harder than it needed to be.
How long did they tell you your first day of employment I just hired at Coca Cola I’m jus wondering
I hope you found something better. I'm stuck at Coke now too as an inventory associate. I feel many of the same things you do, but cannot speak directly for reasons. All I'll say is we have our own challenges.
I can only say that the organization over us is trying to make things better - but after incidents that have happened with me, I feel no opportunity for growth remaining. Godspeed to you and best wished blessings.
Get out, I used think there was nothing better, was there for 18 years thinking there was nothing better then I finally left no I am a Sr manager making three times the income that I was making at voke
How long did they tell your first day I just got hired
Update! I got fired yesterday from coke because I missed too many days within my 90 days! 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
Dang!! Seems like you are the call out champ. Can’t do that under 90 day probation period.
@@christopherhobby8391 you’re ignorant lol!
My call outs weren’t just “call outs”
They were doctor excused days missed because I got hurt on the job, understand that in your big brain?
My job is the same way. They don't accept doctor's notes. Manager told one employee "what ever the problem is they need to fix it" Also don't come back to work till they can give 100%. This is low.
They stopped caring about doctors excuses years ago
Lol, you’re just lazy my dude
I get it, some jobs are rough, hard and tiring. But at the end of the day. You have to do what you got to do to provide for yourself, family etc.

Welcome to the work world. It's like this everywhere in life, might as well get used to it.
wow.. I just got an off for $14 an hour I thought they would pay way more and they should Amazon pays more then that! these companies should be paying $25 $30 bucks an hour
I worked for amazon for 15$ it was terrible and slave work. Also u can’t use the bathroom
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!
Man that is terrible, I hope your doing better and spending time with your family 🙏🏾
Wow that's very unfortunate and I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. After 6yrs of Walmart I quit in April because of harassment when they rotated Assistant Managers (the titles switches too much for me). I was two team leads and the AM and with the help of 2 coworkers I couldn't do it anymore. Some of these places are good for the money but it's the employees that make it worthless
I just got fired from being a merchandiser 2 years busting my ass, ended at $17.30 and it was bc someone on my team hated me so much and just had it out for me so much he set me up lied on me and got his store to report me and escalated the situation so much I got let go. I feel like shit bro and it’s a cold world but I know my worth, that shit wasn’t worth it anyway
Be honest what did you do?
Shiet is petty
4 years ago I worked for coke here in California got kicked out of a Walmart for pulling out a pallet had 4 displays to build with 16 pallets in the backroom 🙃 and I'm not allowed to pull out pallets ?!!! Tf.... supposedly there was a rule book before you sign in that I didn't notice my first time at the store ... Manager called my supervisor and said I'm not welcome back at the store ... 😒 found out later they sent me there because she kicked out 9 merchandisers before me .... so I came back on my off time as a regular customer .... revenge bitch 🤪 😤
i understand your pain im going through this now at pepsi im gonna quit i hate it everything you said was true very on point
Pepsi doesn’t give OT ?
Pepsi is trash. I quit and actually went to coke. I like it better but I live in MN so might be a different experience.
Damn man that's bullshit. I'm a Coke merchandiser in Massachusetts and I get hourly pay. I've been wit Coke for two years now and I get $23.68/hr and come March, I'll be up to $24.28/hr cause we get a 60 cent raise every year. We used to work like over 60 hours a week when I first started, but we don't anymore. Maybe 50 hours at the most now. But it definitely is still back breaking work, and ppl still don't know what they're getting themselves into..
I'm a driver for Coca-Cola in the Northeast. Been there 12 years. I'm paid base plus commission. I make well over 100k a year. Mon-fri. 60hrs a week. Physical demanding job.. not gonna sugar coat it. Some nights I'm so dead ass tired I can't even eat dinner when I get home. My facility is Union. 95% of what these companies at non-union facilities pull would never fly up here.
So all those hours your not getting paid for then ? Since your on commission
I'm just asking because over here coca-cola southwest beverages Fort Worth texas fossil creek they pay us hourly and overtime
What kind of work are you doing now? I’m hoping for the best for you! I’ve worked at Coke for a long time too! I feel your pain physically, mentally, and socially!
I worked for Coke before as a merchandiser and I can relate to you for sure 👍
It’s hourly in florida
I was an hourly merchandiser but even on your off days theyre spamming you with calls to go on truck support. Family time is done for they do not care and forget to fix your rate for even going to truck support. Everytime they forget to fix your pay its always to their benefit since they underpay.
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.
I work 75 to 80 hours a week at Coca Cola. It’s crazy.
I started with swire a couple months ago and I totally feel you on the repetitiveness. It’s the first warehouse job I’ve ever had where they just want me to do one thing. It’s crazy.
Everything ain't for everybody they been there that long cause they can handle it... It's probably just not for you find something you like brother
Shit rolls down hill. Been working for Walmart going on 7 years. Glad you got out, my coke guy was the man.
Today is my last day working for Coke, I’ve worked 2 summers as seasonal merchandiser and it fucking sucked, I wake up 3:30 In the morning 5 days straight just to break my back on so much product for 1 person to handle one 1 route because they can’t get enough people to help, managers don’t give a shot about their employees as long as product is number 1 priority. My advice, don’t work for Bottler Merchandising, especially for Coke.
I worked for Coca Cola for 5 years. & I ended up leaving because they aren’t flexible and I had medical issues with restrictions (a doctors note) and they told me there is no work to accommodate that and kept me on the schedule. So I just ended up leaving. The hours can be brutal and the good routes are based on Seniority. They put some people on crazy close to impossible routes. I felt like I was spread thin physically and mentally.
I’d have just used my Short Term Disability and taken the time off. Most pays up to 75/80 percent of your salary. Was a merchandising team lead for years and always looked after my people especially with DMS’s. Treat your employees good they treat you good.
I just quit my coca cola job a few days ago, for almost all the same reasons you did, except for pay. We were unionized and got paid an hourly rate. 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. I've worked for coke for 2 years and it continuously has gone downhill.
i quit pepsi for coke last year and now got a promotion to cooler tech staring dec 1. pepsi never gave me a job opportunity even tho i apply and had the highest union seniority at the wearhouse. they told me they could afford to loose me and cant loose there best picker .
I quit my job recently as a merchandiser as well. 100% slave work. and if another merchandiser is lacking I always had to help out on top of having the most case counts for the day. started having headaches in the morning before getting ready for work and losing sight of who I was. Figuring out what's next in life now but I just knew doing that everyday wasn't it
I start next week as a Driver Merchandiser Assistant and eventually Cdl program in 6 months in Tampa to become a driver
I feel your pain bro I worked for coke back in 2016 for a year hated my life every day waking up and killing my self for that job switched over to Pepsi and then the guy I was running the route behind would order like a coke sales rep on his days off.. after that I done with the merchandiser life
Bro 100% agree with you. Been working for Pepsi for 8 years now and the hours put in compared to the pay and all the bullshit that you deal with on the daily ain’t worth it. I’m trying to get my cdl’s right now and I’m out. When you’ve had enough, you’ve had enough. And the micro management and piss poor leadership at these companies is pathetic
I’m a truck driver for a different soda company and I had to merchandise 9stores out of 10 and I had 11 stops but they didn’t have a check so I left. My boss said I had 8 hours to do it lol.
Welcome to the work world. It's like this everywhere in life, might as well get used to it.
Doing a job like this and not getting paid hourly is foolish
I just subscribe to you keep the faith motivating others and giving good examplary leadership to youngers generation is the right step during your down time.
Keep positivity peace upon you and family 🍸📡
Ieven with me being only part time I’m so tired and in pain from the days I worked that on my off days I don’t want to do anything but stay in bed.
That’s all I ever wanted to do was sleep 😂
Same! It’s depressing asf you bust your ass off for the bare minimum raise 3% $30 on top my check like that keeps up with inflation wear and tire on your vehicle and on your body im 25 and feel every bit of 70 I can’t play basketball anymore or even be active zero energy for anything smh
You should have gotten your CDL within Coca Cola, mind you it’s paid for by them and you would’ve gotten paid hourly to drive the truck and have your own route my guy instead of just being a merchandiser like you were. You gotta go through the mud before you get where you want to be. You just gotta thug it out for 6 months as a merchandiser then you can switch over as a truck driver. You just not hungry enough I can tell. (lazy)

GOD ONLY KNOWS I NEED A JOB I'M FROM PHILIPPINES I'M POOR I NEED A JOB GOD ONLY KNOWS HEAVEN KNOWS GOD ONLY KNOWS AMEN
The problem is a LOT of jobs are starting to go this route..including office jobs. I'm noticing a lot of office-type jobs that want you to have weekend availability, including being "on-call." 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.
It might be too bad to work for Coca Coca in production or wearhouse or transport or whatever the cause may be. But everything Is base on senority but it leave great money and yea I work for Coca Cola here in Downey California and sometimes I thought that working for a company like Coca Cola it’s like being prison because you send more time working than your family at home. 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. So I can’t complain about my job as Coca Cola I love my job as a bottler
Sorry you had to work that hard. I hope you found something that is comfortable for your body by now. Thanks for the Coke though. I have more appreciation for delivery drivers. I always did though; but more now after hearing your testimony. Jesus loves you man!!

That’s a fact. Everyone hates their job so they have to take it out on someone.
That is soooo MESSED UP AND I LOVE COKE. BUT HEARING YOUR STORY BREAKS MY ❤️ HEART
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 see vendors in the morning at Walmart since I work overnight... You say they work 4 stores? That's crazy. The main guy from Coke hates it cause he gets no help and lots of pallets
Man a Walmart and 3 food lions is a rough route lol. Those food lions can run crazy ads and the backrooms there are always a mess so I can’t imagine having 3 of them on same route bc in my area dudes usually have 3 stores but they are usually divvied out by cases per route
Man I swear some days I was going crazy lol. It felt like I was in the same store all day.
I did too…work warehouse as order builder, every time I make rate the push it higher !
yo im trying to get out of this job too. this shit is ASS.
I am supposed to start there soon. I'm a new CDL driver just trying to get experience. I'm a full-time single father so the benefits of time and experience along with the payment are what im in it for. I know off the back I might not like this job but I know off hand what im going into it for.
Hey have you already started I’m thinking about starting there to
Damn my facility merchandisers get hourly, its like 19 n hour with yearly raises and time n half after 8hr days or 40 weeks. Union negotiations coming up and they're talking about making our 2 tier wage go away and give everyone the higher pay which rn is like 21. Then the raises on top of that.
57 cents per mile as well
Oh and 8 hour and u can go home unless a 24 hour notice for OT is up which is rare but we have a pretty good contract so that's why
I’d rather have that than be a salaried employee. They made sure we worked all day for our pay
Go to school and get educated, or A trade making more money
Damn wtf i got an interview tomorrow and I don’t think I wana go now
Walmart receivers are awful. Some of them are just evil.
I been a driver for them a year now N Lord!!!! That's some work right there!!! I understand quitting but im doing it to get fit
I work for coca-cola southwest beverages as a driver merchandiser and i love it the pay is good they pay hourly and overtime and they treat us real good 👍🏾 im always home at good time
Yeah I agree I just saw the 12 hour shifts that's way too much time to be at work
Liberty Coca Cola do not care for their employees.
I'm from South Africa just quit my job as a driver a coca cola...They the worst do not care about anyone except their money...I never had time for my family always working or tired...And the money ain't even that good
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
child support hit different huh
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.
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.
It all depends if you're liked or not pretty much just started at coke a couple of weeks ago
Why I left too... wasn't a good environment.
#NeverAgain
Pepsi expects you to work 6 or 7 days straight & have 1 day off up here in Charlotte
I worked for coke in Norfolk va. When it was Coca Cola refreshments it was awesome. When consolidated took over it went to shit.
Dude you don't know uncomfortable until you work at Amazon Fulfillment Center that is very uncomfortable and they lie to you to your face!!!!
I worked for Amazon Fulfillment Center and I agree with you 200%. Amazon is messed up.
What are you doing now? I know the universe did you right. ❤
Yes I everything ur saying I'm dealing with but in the warehouse , as a loader.
Get your class a CDL people are getting 32 to 35 an hour to drive local
What? Only $130 a day? That's terrible. What do you do now?
Man thank God I ain't dealing with trucks I go in at 2 p.m. the trucks are gone the morning crew deals with that I just started wow I don't hate it that bad yet that's crazy I know the morning crew deals with more bs
At coca Coca-Cola once you get past your probationary period you can move into other departments.Yes you do work but in the future before you take a job talk to people who work there first . My advice brother work on being your own boss because your talking crazy
As a merchandiser you got paid slary? I'm a merchandiser in MN and it's hourly and you get OT after working 10 hours in a day. I don't know if they changed that company wide or if all of those things are based on location
I was in the same boat with FEDEX.. I quit about 2 months ago.. RESPECT my GEE
Dang bro I made 600$ a week at Amazon working 4 days a week with 3 days off smh and I thought this sucked
I know this video is 3 years old now but what are you doing now? Just curious.
That’s exactly why I quit my job as a merch after only 6 months I was working crazy hours and my check was coming out for 400 bucks and I was supposedly be making 18 an hour some how no matter how many hours I was working it never pass 500 bucks I don’t know who I stay there for 6 months should of be gone ASAP

I would like to know
@@theloudhousefamily7642 So here's my update. I like it .sure it's a lot of work . But if you like to get paid you definitely gonna get your money worth . 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
Thanks for your video, they do the same thing to the drivers. 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
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?
I don’t know, I wasn’t a gate checker sorry brotha. I’d say go with the one that pays more
in Florida is 17.20 hourly plus overtime time and half
Big ballin, we were never touching that in North Carolina 😂
Florida where bro im only got offer 16.50 hour ?
@@pamperkingjazi7397 miami zone3

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.
I had a Pepsi merchandiser say coke hires employees then other companies take them and train them. Nearly every merchandiser I meant started at coke and got on with a different company
WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!
Nope been there 10 Year’s and he isn’t complaining he telling it how it is
Have you every had to plan your year out in December the year prior for vacation? How about being called by all your stores about why you aren’t there and some of the being the same company. What about trying to call out? For actually being sick. Please try that. Seeing your commenting on this and have never walked a day in the life of an employee but saying welcome to the real world 👌. Get on our level you will never know the abuse 🖕
