Is this sales/marketing summer job grunt work or just physically exhausting?


summer internship in sales/marketing
Job Description new account prospecting, account maintenance, route rides with coca cola reps, merchandising
i would be selling vitamin water and other drinks
i get salary so yeah i would be going to stores

is it physically exhausting? a lot of lifting? heavy?

Hello...I'm back again to try to compare the Coke Merchandising Job versus restautant jobs you mentioned:

The Coca Cola Merchandising Job WOULD involve lifting cases of soda and/or water (at least 20-30 lbs..maybe a bit more)....so yes, some physical activity, but an EXCELLENT start with a GREAT company (I considered a similar position with Pepsi).

Salary and benefits would be better at Coke vs. a restaurant host/waiter type job where you're HEAVILY reliant on TIPS, because salary is low. We're in a recession, so expect tipping to be moderate to downright low, right now.

Bartenders CAN rack up some good money because of the constant flow of tips...and after a few drinks people get a bit more generous with tipping...LOL!! BUT, do you KNOW how to make cocktails?? It's not all about serving beer and whiskey on the rocks...The BEST bartenders have gone to a bartender school and learned the trade, so to speak.
