I've done consulting work for them in the past, and it seems typical of a company that size. I know people who work at the corporate facility in Atlanta, and they've never mentioned anything abnormal. Like most companies, head count reductions have put more responsibilty on those remaining, and efficiency is important. If I were applying for a job, I wouldn't make my concerns over work hours known.

I don't mind long hours of work, I just don't like the companies that pay xx dollars for "40" hour week and it ends up the real expectations are 55 plus. If the real expectations are significantly more than they pay then its not worth it for me. I already have a job that I don't have to worl crazy hours at, so I'm warying for changing for a small monetary gain when I actually end up making less per hour.

Of all the big company's i worked for, your always just a number, and another worker who can be replaced at the snap of a finger... I'd assume thats what its like, unless your the CEO, for Coca Cola as well. But sometimes they offer great benefits (big group buy for insurance, ect). Depends what your willing to put up with...

No, as I clearly stated in the post directly above yours, I don't mind working long-hours. What I don't like is misrepresentation.

Big companies are like hundreds of small companies jumbled together, and each of the small companies runs differently. You can't generalize about corporate culture and working hours for the whole company. Depends on the location/department/local management.
Someone working 9-5 M-F in one area may get paid the same as someone on a leash 24x7 in another area.

Serious question: Are there a lot of 40 hr work week jobs out there? Seems like they all disappeared (white collar anyway) in the mid 90's. 50-60 seemed like the norm when I abandoned the conventional job thing in 95.

I think its pretty reasonable to be told the typical hours before signing onto a job. I hated that as well, sign up for X-hours and the first day they're like....."hahaha, thats funny, guess what we work 7 days a week here".
