If you are a professional of color considering a role at Keurig Dr Pepper, I urge you to reconsider. My experience within the first 48 hours of employment was both shocking and deeply disturbing. I was exposed to extreme and overtly racist comments made by the individual who would have been my direct supervisor. These were not subtle microaggressions—they were blatant and unacceptable.
After speaking with my husband and reflecting on my values and well-being, I made the difficult decision to give notice almost immediately. I reported the incident to HR, and while my assigned HR partner responded appropriately, no one else in leadership—even those made aware of the situation—acknowledged what had happened. The silence was deafening.
Since then, I have experienced harassment, intimidation, and subtle attempts to bully me into silence. This culture is not only unsafe, but it actively discourages accountability and protects toxic leadership.
For a company that markets itself as progressive and inclusive, the internal reality could not be more different. My short time here was deeply harmful and I would not recommend this workplace to any person of color or anyone who values equity, integrity, or respect.
