Having PepsiCo on your resume Ability to learn about processes and systems if proactive Great amenities Inclusive culture fun perks True work/life balance
Cons
Organization has too many layers of management which causes poor communication between divisions. Too many middle managers execute initiatives properly. Lack of accountability amongst middle management Only way to increase salary significantly is to leave and come back Since 2008 economy has weakened premium brands (Quaker & Gatorade) Middle management will slow growth by discouraging acquisition of additional responsibility Large disparity in talent amongst peers Will often promote on tenure over acumen
