Pros

Competitive salaries and good health benefits.

Cons

If I could, I'd give 0 stars. High turnover due to supervisors quitting every few months. Managers have 0 accountability, the workforce is disrespectful, and the culture is high-stress and toxic. Absolutely no work/life balance because operations can never stay on schedule due to poor machine reliability and maintenance, thus weekend operations are always certain.

Pros

Nice tenured employees who are in respectable roles but have lost promotions due to Pepsi hiring young college graduates in order to save money. Other than those nice people there are not many other pros.

Cons

I agree Pepsi does give an opportunity of sales/management to young college grads and that was extremely appealing when I was that young college grad. In reality they are completely unorganized, always short staffed so you will be thrown into backup roles that you don’t learn anything in (unless you want to count and order pop in gas stations and grocery stores or run orders to those gas stations), and they expect you to help manage a team of people that have no respect for you because they know you will be transferred to a new location in a year. You get to know those people and instead of helping them promote to a position because of their hard work you know that either yourself or a campus hire will take that position instead. In this position you are also asked to create a project that could potentially make the company better. Your ideas and input aren’t listened to. Management already had their ideas pre planned. Also do not take the sign on or relocation bonus. If you hate your job you have to stay a full year otherwise you have to pay back the amount plus interest! If you like where you live don’t take this job because you can only promote if you move. Lastly if you resign no exit interview, no communication or direction. Very unprofessional.
