Not a company for age 50+ employees

Pros

Large company with great Performance with Purpose vision and objectives manage operations in a way that is responsive to the sustainability of the environment and ecosystem.

Cons

This is a company for young people. Once people hit age 50+ there is virtually no room for advancement or promotion. The Company HR personnel are not willing to review older employees for promotion thinking that they do not want to expend energies on those who might retire within the next 5-10 years. People really need to screw up in order to get fired at PepsiCo but their are a very large number of people who just coast by doing the absolute minimum because they know they will not be promoted or awarded for extra effort.

Pros

Pay is decent for unskilled labor. Great place if you've given up in life. You can literally die at this company if you choose to do so. You can pay your child support.

Cons

Constantly reminded how replaceable you are. Lateral movement only. Your job is up to chance, and not do to preformance, management is extremely disconnected. No transferable skills to another career. Sometimes hours are in excess of 70 in a week. Management is intellectually dishonest. You must live your life around your productivity. Point system written to cater to people in the office environment, extremely unreasonable. Could go on forever!

Pros

Good Compensation, Decent 401k match/options, and great family leave options.

Cons

Can be a very political environment. Often hard work is appreciated, but if you don't know the right people, your advancement will be very difficult. Upper management and board have become hypocritical. You initiate cost-cutting programs, but then give the CEO an almost 20% raise. Meanwhile, the average yearly increase for the "foot soldiers" is 0 or ~2% for an average review.
