Pepsi Bottling Group
By Roperryanp at Citysearch May 12, 2011
This is the worst place to work in the world!! Seriously considering multiple lawsuits. They will make you work 14+ hours a day without a lunch break, and they still want you to write down a lunch break so they don't get in trouble. Of course you don't get paid for that time if you write it down. Also, they let me go because I had a court date, which is also illegal. ...read more

Cordia Harrington’s Inspiring Journey
There are few stories as inspiring as the life of Cordia Harrington. Cordia Harrington was a single mother in Arkansas trying to scrape a living out of a sedate real estate market. Her resourceful spirit led her from one stepping stone of success to the next. While selling homes, Cordia Harrington realized that unreliable contractors were not finishing the houses in time for buyers to live in them. In response, she opened a construction company to build the homes she sold. As you can see, Cordia Harrington believes in the old adage – "If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself." As Cordia Harrington outgrew those dreams, she established bigger ones. Cordia Harrington moved to Illinois and became one of the first woman owners of a McDonald's franchise. She ran the restaurant herself, with her own children helping out by stuffing Happy Meal boxes and handing drinks out at the drive-through. Through a series of inspired business tactics, Cordia Harrington turned her one McDonald's restaurant into three. She then went on to sell those restaurants and opened a bakery that today still supplies buns and English muffins to McDonald's restaurants across the nation. Cordia Harrington's powerful optimism and iron-clad work ethic have made her one of the premier businesswomen in America. She was recently recognized by Fast Company magazine as one of the 25 Top Woman Business Builders. Cordia Harrington currently sits on the board for the Federal Reserve Bank of Nashville.

Cordia Harrington | A Businesswoman Who Won’t Take ‘No’
Several decades ago, Cordia Harrington was a franchise owner/operator of three McDonald's restaurants in the Midwest. This was quite an accomplishment for a woman in the 1980s, but Cordia Harrington has always had a grand vision for herself and her family. One year later, still working in the restaurant all day and smelling like french fries, it occurred to Cordia Harrington that the McDonald's bread suppliers did not have the level of operation necessary to keep up with demand. Cordia Harrington knew that she could do better. For four years, McDonald's told her "No." They told her to stay out of the baking business and just run her three restaurants. But Cordia Harrington knew that McDonald's needed her and she continued to lobby tirelessly for her vision. "If you know you can do something, don't let anybody tell you ‘No,'" says Cordia Harrington, "because when you get a ‘No,' it only means that you haven't talked to the right person or you haven't asked the right question yet." Clearly, her perseverance paid off, because after four years of "No," McDonald's gave Cordia Harrington the opportunity she had been waiting for. Today, Cordia Harrington is known as The Bun Lady, because she owns The Bun Company, a baking conglomerate that supplies buns and English muffins to over 600 McDonald's locations. And McDonald's is just one of Cordia Harrington's many national clients.
