Fun and enjoyable being a part of a global company
Bulk Customer Representative (Current Employee), Twinsburg, OH – May 12, 2013
Pros: fast paced environment
Cons: long days and weekends
Writing daily orders for a specific territory of grocery chains. Great experience to learn time management, organization, and working in a fast paced industry. Collaborating with co-workers on special events and new products is very fun and fulfilling. Hardest part of the job having to stay available all hours of the day. Most enjoyable is being part – more... of a global company. – less

Wonderful Place to work and the people there are some of the best.
Fredericksburg, Va. Full-Service Driver (Former Employee), Fredericksburg,VA. – May 12, 2013
Pros: good people, good benefits......good future (for some)
Cons: long hours for commissioned drivers, bad weather, losing contracts that as an employee you could not control(matter of money...coke out bidding pepsi)
My work day at Pepsi consisted of 10-12 hr days. Once you grew used to it , days flew bye. Management allowed you to learn as you go and informing you if you needed further information on a subject..trade-loss statements ...etc. We were all commissioned employees with a daily base wage plus commission. The Hardest part of the day for me as a driver – more... was the traffic and as a worker was the constant tedious steps involved in my job. From matching Asset numbers to the Monies collection , to the inventory calculations involved . Most enjoyable part was to get to the end of your work day and know that you gave 110% and you didn't skip any of the steps involved in doing the job RIGHT. Doing my job right and knowing I did a thorough job , doing the process correctly meant I had a clear conscience ...that I did the job RIGHT! – less

Productive and positive environment
Key account Manager - Restaurants (Former Employee), Mid-Atlantic Market Unit – May 11, 2013
Pros: great growth experience and interaction with numerous customers. had an excellent mentor.
Cons: if you are good at your job, which i was, you wind up doing others work.
Primarily responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with prestigious restaurants in the Chesapeake Market. Responsible for securing new business through proposal process including P&L Management, proposal development and presentation, contract negotiation and implementation. Responsible for analyzing market conditions and developing sales – more... forecasts, budgets, and PBG profit expectations. Partner with client decision makers to maximize partnership agreement.

Learned how to analyze the profitability of accounts, how to manage larger mulit-unit chains, how to roll-out products, & sales initiatives

My direct management was excellent. Did not micromanage
Co-workers were supportive and we collaborated on various projects and ideas for accounts

Hardest part of the job was the volume of phone calls I received on a daily basis. I fielded many calls due to the fact that I always returned missed calls, and answered my calls unless in a meeting. Many people at Pepsi did not follow this type of process

Best part was by far my customer basis. They were very loyal to me due to my relationship building and knowledge of their business. I knew how to support them to build their business. – less

Hard work low management pay
Merchandiser/BCR (Current Employee), Dayton, OH – May 5, 2013
Cons: management health insurance is expensive and terrible.
Nice place to work until you get into mangement then its longer hours and less pay. Less than what you made as an hourly worker and much harder work. Not a job for the lazy for sure

A good salary but not the best place to work.
Warehouse Employee (Current Employee), Youngwood, PA – May 2, 2013
Pros: salary is decent and a paid 30 minute lunch
Cons: management as a whole
A typical day at work involves operating a forklift and selecting cases of soda for orders, through a voice pick headset. Management and warehouse employees are separate entities at Pepsi. Warehouse employees are under a union contract and it leads to a lot of conflict between the two. I love my coworkers but it seems that management will not work with – more... you in any way, shape, or form to help if there is an issue. They talk down to you and like you do not matter when they want something done which is a terrible way to manage people. – less

Long hours , very low pay
Bay truck driver (Former Employee), Tupelo Ms – April 27, 2013
Pros: you can tell someone that you have a job.
Cons: pay. long hours, management
I worked for this company for about 6 months. This job seemed ok at first. Then I realized that the more I worked the less I got paid. More hours equals less pay. The management was horrible. This job is not recommended for anyone that has a family. You will work 10 to 14 hours a day in the rain etc., and not even be able to pay everyday bills because – more... you will not make enough money. This company knows that they have a very high turn over rate and don't seem to care.. Do Not Work Here. It's Horrible! – less

It's okay as long as you aren't in the A/R dept.
A/R Inbound Rep (Former Employee), Winston Salem, NC – April 26, 2013
Pros: pay
Cons: lack of training and direct management unavailable
I only worked for this company for 60 days and it was the worst 60 days of my life. I should have noticed the signs when no one could give a straight answer about what I actually would be doing. The training after my initial orientation sucked. There is too much division in departments. There is no cooperation or coloboration and no one is held accountable. – more... People in other departments don't follow up and this causes more work for A/R and inbound reps. The so called trainers for A/R don't know the job to even tell you how to do the job to be best of your abilities. The compensation was good. The benefits packaged sucked, and they are extreme (to the point of crazy) over the brand. Good luck if you are considering this company, maybe you'll have greater success than I did. – less
