Pros

None mentioned there are none

Cons

Company Culture: The PepsiCo Atlanta location operates in a manner that feels unwelcoming and unprofessional. Management's use of offensive language and inappropriate terms creates a toxic environment. The promise of career mobility within the company seems empty, as positions are not readily available, leaving employees stuck in roles like loaders or pickers. Additionally, the constant shifting of performance goals adds unnecessary stress. Innovation: The talk man system at PepsiCo is subpar and inefficient. Despite its flaws, employees are expected to maintain high efficiency levels, contributing to an overall frustrating experience. Work-Life Balance: Achieving work-life balance seems impossible with a 10-hour workday starting as early as 3:30 am. Randomly assigned overtime and mandatory days disrupt any attempt at a consistent work-life routine. Communication: Communication within the company is poor, relying on a whisper-down-the-lane approach. Big meetings often exclude a significant portion of the team, making it difficult to foster a sense of unity. Salary: The compensation of $21.00 does not align with the labor and stress associated with the job. The pay does not seem commensurate with the challenges faced by loader pickers.

Pros

Plenty of internal opportunity across a variety of functions, food side of the business is stable as chips will continue to be consumed

Cons

Might have to relocate for your next opportunity, sales roles almost certainly require relocation at any stage of your career, financial engineering or "transformation" will ultimately hurt this company as it continues to eliminate jobs slowly over the last decade and into the future

Pros

The pay can be good.

Cons

They lie to you in the interviews and in training. Then try to push you or add details or requirements after the fact. Some of which is arguable if the company actually has policies for. Very Long hours, it's hard to get breaks. The plant management loves to push product whether it sales or not just so they can get their bonuses. It's very much a "you vs them" dynamic. There is very little training yet receive very high expectations. If you can't handle it, "you're just not meant for the job" or "you're not cut out for it" They have atleast 5 people quit a month.
