Pros: Talented people and fun brands. The things PepsiCo represents like DEI and sustainability are great.
Cons: 1. I've seen this organization go by the wayside since over the past 7 years. As someone that is a part of our "People" organization I'm asking you to please reconsider working here. 1. I've been a part of 8 re-orgs in a 7 year time period. Because I've been in the field and in a corporate role in different parts of our business there hasn't been a year I've gone through or been a part of a re-org. This is not normal, as much as they will tell you it is. I'm exhausted, I've seen so many people loose their jobs only for those jobs to come back again. 2. Our strategy for our business is non-existent. We price gauged people during COVID and continue to do so. Now in 2024 we're behind plan. We're closing plants and letting go of people because we refuse to drop price even though we publicly acknowledged we should have. 3. Pepsico reported gross profits of $50.2 billion for the year ending September 30, 2024, a 1.71 percent increase over 2023. The year before, PepsiCo annual gross profit was $49.6 billion, a more than 8 percent increase from 2022. So if we're struggling to keep plants operational and can't invest the money to keep them operational, where is the money going? Why did we have one of the "biggest years" in the history of the company followed by one that's not making plan. The numbers aren't adding up. 4. Pepsico is known to export leadership talent to other companies and has been historically a place to grow your career. I can tell you that we take advantage of people by paying them less when compared to other cpg companies with the promise of this career advancement. Well with the above mentioned constant change, that is no longer a reality. I've seen people join the org only to be let go 2 years later. 5. In an effort to make our business 24/7 in the past couple years we've built up service centers across the globe, specifically Hyderabad, IN and Monterey, MX supporting the U.S. Many jobs have been cut in the U.S. to be replaced with people in these countries and we're paying them far less money than what that job was paying in the U.S. While some may say this is a result of globalization and it's giving jobs to those in need, I see it as PepsiCo once again taking advantage of people. If this was truly an effort to transform our business, why not pay them the same?

Don't ask your employees to work harder and spend less when you don't do it yourself. Don't tell us you're closing a plant because it can't be repaired when we had a record year of profit. You're destroying people's livelihoods and an entire community. Stop trying to convince people to put chips in recipes and over charge for bubbly water. Start investing in healthy snacks and drinks. And if you have a strategy, please stick with it. Stop abandoning jobs or product's less than a year after investing in it. It's not transformational and not normal to change this often. It's exhausting and it'll catch up.to your reputation.
