that company where i go out to stores and sell vitamin water
there a division of coke

Okay have your ever been to a warehouse like Sam's Club or B.J.'s or Costco and seen the cases of Coca Cola products? With the Coca Cola job you're riding around with the driver then you bring those size cases into the stores depending on the size store between 30-40 cases for a good sized gas station on a pallet wait to be checked in by the store manager then put the cases on shelves. Around holidays like Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July when sodas go on sale at grocery stores you have even more work. It's salary because your hours vary since stores have certain check in times and you have to wait for them to verify the amount of cases you bring in are what is on the invoice. It's alot of manual labor.

Do you have a degree? If you do I would not go for any of these jobs. Just my opinion. If not I know someone that works for AT&T and they are doing pretty well. Just my thoughts, Good Luck!

The first job with Coke sounds more interesting. At least you'll be on the road and have someone to talk to........the AT&T job is basically telephone sales.......if you like people hanging up on you all day long....take that one.

go with the vitamin water thing (coke). Make sure you "dress the part"--if it's hip vitamin water, be hip, cool, etc.

Never ever go with a 'commission only' job, you can be the best salesperson in the world but in this economy, people arent going to spend any more money than they have to....
