Pros

-Decent benefits -Okay pay -Good Sampling program -Some really smart people that are trying to change the company -Can get promoted (if you live in Texas and work in the office)

Cons

-There's a lot of old legacy folks from either the Keurig side or the Dr. Pepper side that are so used to doing things the old way and they don't want to change -Push back to get things back to normal from pre-COVID levels; except there's still COVID impacting everything and now MonkeyPox. -Investment of technology but lack of push out into field -Disjointed and bad upper management: often silence or discrepancies of communication along with push for certain "cultures" but no follow through -Bad lower management: There are people in the organization that are bad actors. They say one thing and do the opposite or create a work life that's abusive. It's unfair for one group to have good managers that push for work/life balance while another group has their employees chained to their desks. There's no oversight of what lower management does so they do what they want. HR doesn't even realize the issues. -Unlimited vacation time for directors and above, but not for managers and below

Pros

Employee Benefits, Good Insurance, Hybrid work culture, Good Pay. Company has been growing in the last few years. Some talented colleagues who genuinely want to do good work Opportunities to learn if you are self‑driven Decent exposure to cross‑functional projects

Cons

Micromanagement is common, but not in all the teams.Managers are promoted without leadership experience, and some are given teams to manage without proper training or people‑management skills. Professional boundaries are not always respected. Personal information shared in confidence can sometimes influence work decisions, which creates discomfort and mistrust. Leave approvals are inconsistent, and employees may feel pressured not to take time off even when needed. Isolation tactics are used, where certain employees are excluded from discussions or updates, leading to frustration and disengagement. Communication is top‑down, and important updates are not shared with lower‑level team members, making it difficult to stay aligned or feel included.
