Why I and many others WANT to live The Coca-Cola Company lifestyle!

Have you ever met someone who spoke of their company in such a magnetising way that you simply thought "I want to work where they work!". I was fortunate enough to have that experience in 2013 through a series of networking opportunities I met a mentor, now colleague of mine that spoke of The Coca-Cola Company in a way that I had never heard. It wasn't the usual "opportunity this and growth that" spiel but this energizing radiant positive lifestyle that she was an Ambassador for in and outside of the work place.
Only after the first of many phone calls over the years I told her "When Coca-Cola calls I am going!". Sure enough the call arrived just 3 years later unbeknownst to her and truly to my unexpected beaming excitement.
Probably one of the more amazing things is how similar my story is to many others not only here in the U.S. but across the globe. People WANT to work for Coca-Cola because of so many different and unique reason. For each of us it's called our Coke Story. plastered on the walls of floors in almost every building here on campus in Atlanta. It's a feeling, connection that draws us together. Kind of like a warm Hug:)
