Pepsico Employee Review
Would have been great if not for ..
- Tuesday, November 30, -0001
Pros
* robust policies and benefits in the US (like caregiving, physical therapy, mental therapy etc. ). * opportunities to rotate within organization (only if you have the right connections) * lot of employee engagement events. * great internal systems for everything
Cons
1) can definitely have more than 15 days vacations for mid-level , behind compared to other organizations 2) many departments, everyone works in silos 3) they are very proud of the experience they keep, however there is a lot of discrimination from these people with experience on external hires. they are not helpful or open to share (it could also be insecurity to lose job) . for the most part, you don't know what you don't know. 4) if you're in global/remote teams, there is a further struggle of adjusting to the politics of each market, favoritism and visibility issues. 5) highly relationship based progress than your own merit.
Comments
don't hire externally if the teams cannot manage or cooperate on bringing them onboard. definitely food for thought that the rating fell from 4.1 in mid 2023 to 3.9 in Sept 2024

Pros: It was a good way to make decent money without a college degree. If you just do what your supposed to when it comes to stocking and building displays no one really bothers you.
Cons: You will work a lot
Send more help to the sales associates when they have big deliveries. They did get better with that as time went on.Frito Lay BEWARERSR Route Sales Representative | Columbus, OH

Pros: No supervisor breathing down your back, somewhat able to create your own schedule.
Cons: Horrible communication, unrealistic plan numbers, new product forced out even if it doesn't sell which negatively impacts your pay, product that is nearing stale date in warehouse forced onto your order so it doesn't stale out in the warehouse and they can take money out of your check, low pay, target pay is based on 45 hours a week if you don't hit that then your pay is drastically cut. Ect, ect. Ect
Stop advertising a target pay and tell people what their base pay a year is without overtime. Stop preaching to follow planagram and force out product that has no spot in the planagram. Take responsibility for ordering to much product and stop putting that nearly stale product on your reps to have to credit out.Great, probably better than othersSr Brand Manager | Purchase, NY

Pros: Alot of Opportunity could make alot of money.
Cons: You expected to do way more than what is reasonable set up to fail.
Leaders grab the shovel and help there team especially when the sales reps do all the work. Other vendors like coke and 7up have it figured our Pepsi does not and they carry the most product it's insane the expectations for one person.
