Svantaggi

Pepsi has become a number crunching game, it used to be about the customer, small account or large account, everyone was important. It took some of us 20+ years to build this reputation in our area and was liked by everyone, business and consumers perspective. Empire has been torn apart in months! its like tearing apart something it took so much hard work and so much time to build up and pulled apart over night. Scarry! Now i come to work, Do my job and do it well and all the immediate supervisors can do is call you and harass you on questions like ... you have an unreported time 3 weeks ago for 15 mins? what was you doing at that time? Maybe restroom? maybe seeking a manager for a signiture? maybe you forgot to push start drive on your computer? who knows?? CAN ANYONE TELL YOU WHAT THEY DID OFF THE TOP OF THEIR HEADS 3 WEEKS AGO ON A CERTAIN DATE AT A CERTAIN TIME?? answer is NO! Or when your vehicle is getting worked on, Oil change, you found pre_trip problems ect.... an hour has gone by and you get a text stating, get out on the road ASAP. WHAT? I was told in a previous meeting that we would be written up if we didnt report a problem to the fleet garage and have it tended too? By the way, management, my wheels were wobling so bad you couldnt hardly keep your hands on the wheel! Then we get an harassing text saying Get out on road ASAP. This is now the life at pepsi cola. Sad but True. This Harassing text takes the cake in my book, You have 4 calls that equipment needs fixed at, 2 restraunts and 1 hospital and you have a seasonable golf club, remember its 29 degress out and their not open for business yet. day got started at 1:00 pm because of the previous vehicle maintainance mentioned above. seasonable Golf Course manager was leaving at 3:00 pm, now, priority wise what do we do first? Food accounts I hope #1 around lunch hours and the size of the hospital account we have, I tended to them 3rd. and now it was past 3:00 and Golf Course is now closed for day. I was texted and it was stated that we need to start checking the closing times on the accounts when your setting up your priorities?? Are you kidding me or are you harrassing the hell out of me because anyone who cares and knows how to route your repairs would do the food accounts fountains around lunch first? The country club cooler in a account not in full swing because their is no golfers because of the weather should be routed Last! By the way, I have these texts saved. Their is no chain of command for us to communicate with, basically afraid to come fourth with any of this because i feel my job would be in jeopardy and I know it would because they can find ways to get you if they want. If only I could talk to somebody very high up on the command chain above immediate and plant managers because they will side together as 1 and fry you. In conclusion, just in a few months, I had an outlook to retire here at pepsi and wanted no other alternative and felt like I would be able to be here long term but now, as much as I love what I do here and have hundreds of personal customers to prove my success and reliability to whom I still call my customers, I do not feel secure from day to day, I dont really know if I'll be set up somehow or constructive discharge because my immediate supervisors are making the work enviroment so intolerable and would not be able to stay. My hopes are for the best because I love what I do and I have always been proud to be an employee of Pepsi.

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.
