Dr Pepper Snapple Group Employer Reviews

Look out for back stabbers, and people trying to set you up.Overall it was OK some room for advancement.

I enjoyed this job. The co-workers were great and the management was great. The health benefits were also very nice to have.

It was a fairly simple and easy job, however the management team is a joke.

the most unorganized warehouse i've ever worked at The worst beverage company between the 3 long hours awful pay management don't kno what their doing you apply for the job but when you start you end up doin more than what you were hired to do with no raise don't recommend working at this place do yourself a favor go to PEPSI or COKE, 7UP IS THE WORST – more...

I arrived at Meijer to start my day off. I took inventory of what we needed on the shelf. After looking through back stock, I would take what we had to fill the holes. On delivery days I would unload the pallets and organize them in the back stock area. Once I was done with that store I would move on the the next and repeat the process.

The average day was leaving from home at 4:30 in order to be at store one by 5:15. Fill the shelves and coolers and zone what need not be filled. Then I would write a order, if it wasn't already getting a order that day. Then on to store number two of 6 and repeat the process. I was the representative of Dr Pepper in my stores. Any and all problems – more... came to me and I handled them properly.My favorite thing about the job was the responsibility. Everything to do with my route was on me. i was selling my route after only 6 months of merchandising but never offered a sales manager position. Once I put in enough time to be considered for a promotion I gotten into a custody battle with my ex over my daughter and had to take leave the company. The biggest thing I learned from Dr. Pepper is to be flexible and adaptable – less

Management is TERRIBLE, has to be the worste beverage company i have ever worked for hands down! good products but no direction for improving sales and growth.. would NOT recommend anyone to work for this company..save your time and energy and go with a more stable work environment

10-12 hour work day
very little training
management varies , usually a revolving door here
excellent co-workers , unfortunately also a revolving door here also
hardest part of the job : 3am start time , low pay , minimum benefits
best part : lenient atmosphere at present

Poor management, little to no respect for "Persons". Compensation is not based on how well you do but on "how long you've been employed no matter how well you've done or not. Work environment and culture suffer greatly because of it! This also makes job security and advancement a nearly impossible accomplishment.

This is a first hand experience. I saw how happy and inspired the poeple at first. We are considered as cream of the crop. But When this Manager came in everything has change, it turns to a very unpleasant and hostile working environment.. It starts firing people left and right in the department, the manager so close to HR...much more IT will hid any – more... product deviation and instructing the people to keep within our deptartment so we dont get in trouble,,,,its really not good specially when it concern product quality.
This manager puts her relative and friends, very discriminating, you will see it in a color wheel. She got the majority. This department will be the same as long as she and her people are there.
The other department, production, is ok – less

No room for advancement. I enjoyed the costumer relations that i kept as a vendor, talking with store owners, making sure they had enough product for consumer trends.

Hard work, store managers are not very good. They look down on you

It seems if you've scrolled down to my review you have read what to Me is a bunch of people who are complaining about work just plain work no real complaints just that they had to work hard. Take it for someone who has worked in other beverage companies Dr Pepper is head and shoulders above them across the board.

Very bad management, poor HR management, lots of nepotism especially among Lab tech, they fire people without reason, and put their friends and families even they are not qualified. Too sad its who you know not what you know. I am among the pioneers, got fired for no reason. There is no seniority here, you can be a lead even if you dont know anything – more... or even you are just new as long as you are friends with the HR Manger, Production Manager or QC Manager. People here are very unhappy, they talked among co-workers but not with management because they are very afraid to get fired after airing your grievances. Managers are really political but not all. Its fun if there will be an undercover boss, works like a worker, so he/she wil see how rotten the system is, go to QA dept as example, very visible but people cant do anything, they fire a lot of smart, hardworking lab tech and replace them with who they know. Time for change Dr Pepper! – less

This would be the perfect Job for someone who has no bills, is single, has no family, doesn't have a social life, someone with no hobbies, doesn't have a pet and loves not making enough money to survive on. You make $10/hr and that's it. Don't expect a raise regardless of your efforts or how long you've been with the company. You will get no weekend – more... days off and work every holiday also.

Besides holidays you will typically with 48-50 hours a week. you spend most of your days losing your mind at a wal-mart. The account managers will over order at most of your stores and you get to listen to store managers complain about your back stock. Should you feel the need to complain to the account manager or your supervisor, it will fall on deaf ears and you are stuck with everyone including your fellow merchandisers complaining about backstock.

You also will be beating your vehicle to death. They pay the minimum of 39 cents per mile which barely covers your gas expense. Expect to put your own money into your gas tank.

Management only cares about drivers. Merchandisers get treated like 2nd class unless you are a total brown noser. Advancement is non existent without sufficient brown nosing as well.

If your absolutely dying for a "right now" job id say go for it because they will hire anybody with a driver license. If you have a choice the competition pays much better and I would stay clear of dr pepper. – less

My typical day at Dr. Pepper was very smooth sailing because i was good at driving the forklifts & picking. I learned very quickly that the harder you work the more respect your managers had for you and also my co-workers. The hardest part of the job was definitely the overtime and the most enjoyable part was getting my check. :)

The company would be great if management would allow employees to have work. In the busy season everything is fine, but from January until around April they make us take off work and replace us with salaried workers who don't have much work of their own to do. Yes we have went union, but haven't inked a deal yet. It has been 6+ months of negotiations. – more... I am sure over pennies. The competition( coke and Pepsi) pay much more and do the exact same work. 18 hours a week can't pay anyone's bills. I think the company only has something like 8 or 9 full time merchandisers. All others in the twinsburg plant are considered part-time for as long as 5 years before becoming full time. This way you won't get the good pay, holiday pay, vacations. One would better suited applying to the competition. Better everything over there especially with coke – less

Workin their was to much hours to work. I was working 65 hours a week. Good for money, but bad for sleep and hygiene for working that much.
