Vantaggi
Freedom out in the trade. You’re not physically watched all day, you clock in at your first store and clock out at your last store, so if you have good work ethic and independence you will do fine. You can drive your personal vehicle and get paid mileage. Great benefits.
Svantaggi
The management is non existent until you don’t meet a corporate metric, regardless whether you have any control over the situation or not. No accountability for the merch team under you that “relieves” you when you’re off. You can’t discipline them and the management refuses to do so because they’d rather have someone who does poor work than have to go through the fire/rehire process. It’s a constant game of clean up. Sales reps are very micromanaged on metrics that are often near impossible to meet. No local opportunity for advancement in the company. You must be willing to transfer to make a career at pepsi and odds are slim even if you are willing to transfer of actually finding a manager who cares to help you advance.
