Pros

PepsiCo pays very well with regards to salary. There is a lot to learn. The people are very friendly and caring. You will make some really good friends that you will want to keep in touch with This was a really great company to work for several years ago. But Indra Nooyi has changed the culture for the worse.

Cons

I have read other posted reviews and they are generally correct. Diversity has been emphasized to the extent that it is now reverse-discrimination, especially if you have a non-Caucasian manger. The company is totally short-term results-oriented; you make the target (often impossible) or you are considered to have failed. Quality of work is not recognized. Preventive work is not considered important; management likes the people who put out fires (that could have been prevented). Lots of hours are expected. People work all the time. Many people are completely burned out. Work loads get higher every year and staffing gets lower. They also like to re-org at least once a year, so well-working teams are often busted up and distributed and you have to start all over.

Pros

It was a goog step in the door, a good job to get me into sales out of school. I was able to learn a great deal about dsd selling and it's challanges, as well as expericen with grocery store managment and employee's. It was also helped to teach me about working with out direct supervision, and planning my day to be at accounts and how to do a store call. Unfortunatly I do not have many good things to say about managment or how I was treated with this company, some of which you will see in the downsides section.

Cons

I never felt appreciated or valued. I felt like I was replaceable and not important. When I struggled I had great difficulty getting my direct supervisor to help. The training was lacking and imcomplete. The managment I felt never listened to employee's or valued their opinions. Issues were not addressed unless I was to blame when I had an issue with other coworkers or in a store managment never helped me to resolve the problem. Overall I found out why PBG has such high turn over and so few people at my level who had spent more then a year with PBG.
