Pros

Great benefits and Ok compensation

Cons

You will never see your family or friends ever again. A typical work week consists of 60-80 hours per week. Very physical work and on your needs most of the day. You start work very early, typically around 3 or 4am and wont be done until 4 or 6pm. Forget about weekends as you will have split days off. I had Sundays and Wed for my days off, this is horrific as you can never spend any time with the family. Also say good-by to your holidays as you will work the most during these times of the year. Unless you get a job at the headquarters run from this company as you will loose everything dear to you. They will do nothing to alleviate your pressure and have a very high turnover. Moreover, you are always on pins and needles as people get fired all the time as a strategy to avoid law suites.

Pros

Was a great company now Indra is trashing it. Used to value it employees now all it cares about is its stock price so it can be bought out. The managers at Pepsi are just as afraid of their job as the employees.

Cons

In June, 2014 they outsourced almost all IT to HCL Technologies, 250 people. HCL came in with no plan and remaining Pepsi employees have chosen to make it difficult for those rebadge. It is now a sweat shop that only values the amount of stress you can handle.

Pros

After two years working as an overnight warehouse loader, I've found that Pepsi works very hard to ensure that employees are recognized and appreciated. Pay and benefits are good for the work we do, Supervision is trained almost constantly on improving themselves as managers, A very solid place to work, obviously Pepsi is not going anywhere. Employee appreciation week every year, various events held for employees through the year, Any problems or issued are dealt with professionally and quickly. Safety is extremely important to them, they supply us with clothing and safety vests/t shirts for use in the warehouse. Higher management seems to consider our thoughts in matters, walkthroughs to chat during shifts to ask if we have any concerns. Can always be honest with them.

Cons

The shift can be... A challenge at times. Seven pm start, not knowing from day to day How long the shift will be. Usually eight hours, holidays can be a bear. Upwards of twelve hours plus. But they show appreciation for our work with small bonuses occasionally. Warehouse is union while the rest of the company is not. Being union workers denies us small privileges such as discounts on drinks for home consumption. No big deal. At times, it can feel as if management is "too fair" An issue with another employee will of course be addressed, but sometimes lacking in corrective action. Long nights of throwing cases can bring personality clashes, props for dealing the best they can, but really, it's ok to offend someone from time to time. Preach about clean as you go, but dont follow Through when most do not do so. Some of the "older" delivery drivers can be... "Difficult" If a truck is not loaded to their liking, they can appear... Childish.
