Vantaggi

We get paid well to do our jobs. We have good benefits and the people we work hand in hand are usually hard workers.

Svantaggi

Our "resources" are more interested in caring what upper management thinks than to even notice all the bad conditions we work under. They are currently trying to basically bribe us to give them positive ratings on some health org surveys we are going to be taking next week. Very few people are willing to lie and say the good things they want us to say. They are under pressure by someone higher up than plant level and so they are getting write up happy at a time when they should be thinking how it will affect what we put on surveys. People are sooo dissatisfied they are talking about unions. I personally don't want to go that way, but if they decided to try it at least we would have someone on our side. Our HR is only for management and it's impossible to get help from him. They have what they call the speak up line, they are supposed to help, but all they do is give it to HR who we couldn't get help from to begin with. Our safety is not important especially if it means spending money when the financial manager doesn't want to. I personally like my job that I do and want to always do my best because our children eat our product, and quality should be the most important process. I just wish that's what management cared about. It's all about the money. I know we need to make money but there should be more energy put into all quality.

Vantaggi

Worked for PepsiCo for 10 years across four locations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Florida. Gained experience in multiple sales and operational roles while supporting account growth, merchandising, and customer relationships. Florida locations were especially well-operated and efficient. PepsiCo provided competitive pay, solid benefits through Keystone, and a good vacation package compared to competitors in the beverage industry. The company also offered strong sales incentive programs, earning rewards such as Orlando Magic floor seats, Pro Bowl tickets, Apple Watches, and Yeti cups for exceeding performance goals and driving sales results.

Svantaggi

While PepsiCo promotes internal growth opportunities, many promotions and leadership opportunities appeared to favor college internship hires over long-term internal employees. In some cases, newer college-based management pushed corporate initiatives without fully understanding local market realities or account volume trends. For example, innovation products were sometimes forced into low-volume accounts where sell-through was unrealistic. Operationally, certain delivery processes could be improved, particularly with Tropicana products being stored in coolers on trucks for extended periods, which could impact product quality and increase waste. Work-life balance could also be challenging, as sales representatives commonly worked 50–60 hour weeks. Expectations from corporate leadership were often unrealistic, especially when customer representatives and drivers were expected to fully stock stores while servicing 15+ accounts per day. Experiences could also vary depending on whether locations were union or non-union operated.
