Good pay, but constant fear of layoffs and offshoring

Pros

Very good pay and annual bonus. Decent work life balance and PTO. Culture is mostly respectful and civilized.

Cons

You must always fear loosing your job to layoffs and offshoring. That is the one common theme at PepsiCo, especially in IT. No matter your talent or importance to the role or a project, cost savings is what matters to PepsiCo...and offshoring your position typically is what happens especially since PepsiCo has offices in India, Egypt, Mexico where labor is naturally cheaper than in US. It is not a matter of 'If' but 'when' and the risk is even higher for older longer term employees. I've witnessed people getting laid off within 1 to 2 years after getting hired due to offshoring. Advice, if you get a job in IT at PepsiCo have your resume updated and ready for when they do eventually offshore your position.

Pros

3 days off is good to have because you won't get family time during your work week depending on where you're located, management can be amazing or below average

Cons

pay isn't good for the work volume sales reps abuse the commission system so you'll have 2-3 times amount of work/pallets to do compared to them so expect 12-17 hour shifts Management are on top of you to work faster and push you to unreachable standards to get done. start time can be troubling considering you can work 17 hour shifts and be expected to show up to work a few hours after getting home. 4am start latest

Sometimes You’re Affected by the Ugliness of Corporate America

Pros

PepsiCo is so large that there’s generally healthy movement across the organization. The pay isn’t horrible and the benefits are standard across other major employers. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, you can do some really impactful work since there’s plenty of things to fix at PepsiCo.

Cons

Corrupt leadership Slowness to fix everything; even things that are noticeably deteriorating the organization Poor technology, low usage, and multiple systems that do the same thing Performance ratings truly don’t matter except for keeping your employment. It’s not a way to get ahead. You can be excellent talent but be blocked from movement or due praise because of the leader you’re under. This isn’t exclusive to PepsiCo but it has happened here more than any other employer I’ve worked at.
