At Coca-Cola, workers regularly note the appeal of \u201cworking for a world-wide well-known company\u201d and add that \u201cwe have fun, we win, and we work together. When we lose, we lose as a team and regroup.\u201d On the downside, another employee says workers \u201cneed accountability and team building events to keep morale positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Female workers rank the culture of both companies slightly higher, with Pepsi at 79 and Coke at 73.<\/p>\n

Over at Coke, a worker writes that the \u201cpay is good.\u201d Another agrees about the day rate but adds, \u201cI think for the work that is done we should still get paid more as the work is very physical and exhausting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Women rate compensation at both companies much higher (82 for Pepsi and 76 for Coke.)<\/p>\n
