Vantaggi
Salary meets and/or above industry standard. Lots of hard working and knowledgable employees deep in the trenches. Well known established brands global brands.
Svantaggi
Professional limitations. Past 4 years of annual downsizing has reduced the knowledge pool and minimized the potential for development. Lay-offs appeared to be heavily based on mathmatical formulation of age, service, salary and not so much on underperformers. Promotions at lower levels depends on current location and level with very little regard to current role/responsibilities and accomplishments. Most times promotional opportunities lack support from management and very rarely a courtsey "thanks but no thanks" call from HR. The normal response from management is that PepsiCo doesn't pay for relocation and you cannot advance more than 2 levels above current role. Discouraging that performance doesn't seem to be part of the creditentials. Many internal sabatagours to the numerous "tools" rendering lack of usage, lack of support and very little best in class examples. Heavy demand for internal reporting which limits the time to actually call & support the customer. Challenging collaboration between the individual domestic business units that operator still very much in "silos". BU support very limited and mostly unseen.
