Dedicated employees and family environment.
Help Desk Analyst (Former Employee), Plano, TX – June 15, 2013
Pros: frito-lay provided us with all the snacks we could eat. i burned myself out or cheetos.
Cons: in such a fast paced environment, two 15 minute breaks never seem like enough to catch your breath.
Fast paced, busy from start to finish. I learned to understand different cultures and abilities from a diverse workforce and customer base. Made for interesting work, every day was fun and challenging. Management was fare and strived for a health work life balance for all employees. Hardest part of job would be when it came time to go home, I was usually – more... in the middle of a complicated call and would stay until the issue had been resolved to the customer's satisfaction, even though it meant I would be working later than my scheduled end of shift. Most enjoyable was sometimes the hardest. I really enhoyed being able to help someone get back to being productive. These people were always so grateful to have their issues resolved and able to get back to work so quickly. – less

The co-workers at PepsiCo were fantastic to work with. I was able to learn a position at PepsiCo I had never done before. The hardest part of the job was when the system was down. The company would let you pick your own hours as long as you got the job done. This position was two year temporary job and was sadden when the assignment ended – less

Pros: freedom, plenty of down time
Cons: heavy lifting health care
Start of the day at your first account, you sign in to your iphone (timecard), you service account as instructed and get properly signed out and head to your next account.

Management and co workers get along rather well, everyone sticks to the were a team mentality.
hardest part of – more... the job is the physical labor, pulling 2500 lb pallets around can tire you out

Fortune 500 Company
Sales Representative (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – June 12, 2013
Pros: fotune 500 company
Cons: hours, politics, work life balance
Management asks way to much for a days work. Long 12 hour days are at lease twice a week. Days start at 6:00am in the field each day and often don't end until 6:00pm. Too many politics and too long to actually have a chance to become a manager. Many people have been there for years and college degrees are not required.

Very productive fast pace job
Bulk Sales Representative (Former Employee), Ventura, CA – June 12, 2013
Pros: if you work hard and pay attention to detail you walk away with a sense of accomplishment.
Cons: the pay was a bit low considering how much hard work has to be done day in and day out alone.
A typical day of work would be to take inventory of the the point of sale locations from the previous sale day and restock or create an order for that customer/store and communicate with the store manager and receiver about inventory to come in or any point of sale changes.

Exhausting Work
Bulk Customer Representative (Former Employee), St. Louis, MO – June 11, 2013
Pros: no one looking over your shoulder. you can plan your day and route for what works best for you.
Cons: getting screwed on raises. killing your shoulder muscles.
I am a Bulk Account Rep. I have a route of 5 stores I do. One of them is a Wal-Mart (they are annoying). I order the product for the stores, and put it all out at each store. It's hard on my shoulders and wrists. Plus, as a "salesmen" I have to sell new stuff in all the time and change displays.... ready for something new!!

Rickym – June 8, 2013

Most of the larger companies look for the ones that stand out above and beyond the call of duty. A degree doesn't always get you where you want to be. Step up and keep you motivation positive.

Great company to Work for in general / Hrs tend to be a bit excessive..
Maintenance Manager (Current Employee), Johnstiown PA. – June 3, 2013
Pros: excellent training, proud work force, quality management
Cons: excessive hrs / work life balance lacking
A typical day for me includes, Reviewing Service contracts
Creation and implementation PM work orders on a daily basis
Incorporate Lean 6 Sigma processes
Generate 24 HR Work schedules / approve Personal days and Vacations
Purchase necessary parts to insure our facility operates with minimum downtimes
Schedule rebuilds of major high sped manufacturing – more... equipment
Balance monthly spending budgets

I have become a certified lean sigma Six Leader and have completed my first project resulting in major utility savings.
Within my first year on the job, I have become one of six in all of PepsiCo facility locations leadership to achieve the Golden Wrench award.

Our Management team is very knowledgeable and task oriented always helpful and extremely dedicated to success as are all of my fellow workers and employees.

The most difficult part of the job are the long days, nights and weekends that must be worked.

The most enjoyable part of the job is to see a truly efficient production line operate at peak performance and to realize this is a result of our teams effort to operate with a minimum staff to ensure the highest quality product can be produced at a minimum cost for our company. – less

Productive, physical, demanding and enjoyable work
Merchandiser (Former Employee), Selinsgrove, PA – June 2, 2013
The days start really early, normally around 3 a.m. and can be anywhere from 12-14 hour days. The work is fast paced and physically demanding while under little or no supervision.

The best part of learning the job was interacting with other employees at various locations. Getting to know people and what they needed was fun and overall a good experience.

The – more... management was great overall. There was no lack of training or miscommunications. Most people in management positions had to rely on the employees integrity and work ethic, so if you have both of those you will be rewarded.

The co-workers in general was a good group of people. Helpful and enjoyed having a little bit of fun while on the job, but not enough to interfere with production.

The hardest part of the job was the physical aspect. It was non-stop moving, lifting, dragging and sorting heavy product to be moved to the floor.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the freedom to move around from location to location. There was always work to be done, so the work days were over before you knew it. By the end of the day, it felt like you were only there for an hour, when it was actually twelve. – less
