Hey Elliot I’m a field sales rep in Yorkshire. The best thing about working for Coca Cola is the support given. There’s a lot of things that go on outside the day job to support you with everything you need. The downside is the same with any field sales role is it can get lonely working alone however you always have someone on the other end of the phone and we have regular team meetings.

You also need to be able to work independently on a daily basis but have a great team ethic. Be quite outgoing and be able to speak to people confidently. Time management is also important

Do you plan your own appointments? Do you need to avoid restaurants/cafes in their busy periods etc...

In field sales we have our diary planned for us however we can also make appointments ourselves and manage our diaries accordingly

Representative, Merchandising

Elliot - I am a merchandiser and the role is very varied. You build great relationships with colleagues in stores and plan your own priorities for the day on line with the needs of the business.
There is nothing I would list as “worst” in the role! It is very busy time but I enjoy this immensely
