Pros

Offers great starting pay and pay bracket goes up significantly as you acquire skills on different machines. Plus being part of PepsiCo means great discounts on Pepsi sponsored events, i.e. Pepsi Center events, Water World and Elitch Gardens.

Cons

Extremely poor employee recognition for being a multi-million dollar company. Bonus' have been tampered with, and 12 hours make for a long day during high volume productivity. Management rotates or changes often (Bi-annual) which usually means major changes in the way business is run.

We agree that integrity is important, and if you suspect any "tampering" regarding bonuses you may approach your HR business partner or report it anonymously at http://www.pepsico.com/company/SpeakUp.

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.
