Pros

They at least pay you SOMETHING. You can have something to do alllll day long.

Cons

Overworked. Underpaid. Micro-managed out the wazoo. Worried too much about saving money than spending. You get what you put in. They are in complete and total control of your pay and WILL adjust your sales plan if you go to high and keep it high to prevent you from getting paid out. All the while reaping benefits. Holidays you will work your tail off and have nothing to show for it because the plan will be too high not only that but you will have loaded your stores so much it will hurt you on your next week's plan or start your period off in a deficit. No flexibility for time off. No set schedule. No incentives. Most of the company truck have no A/C. In texas people....TEXAS. You are the driver, stocker ,and sales rep. 3 jobs in one. It should pay a minimum of 70k. If they want all of their chores done right. But that will never happen because the CEO is a greed driven workforce pocket drainer.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
