PepsiCo reviews

I agree Pepsi does give an opportunity of sales/management to young college grads and that was extremely appealing when I was that young college grad. In reality they are completely unorganized, always short staffed so you will be thrown into backup roles that you don’t learn anything in (unless you want to count and order pop in gas stations and grocery stores or run orders to those gas stations), and they expect you to help manage a team of people that have no respect for you because they know you will be transferred to a new location in a year. You get to know those people and instead of helping them promote to a position because of their hard work you know that either yourself or a campus hire will take that position instead. In this position you are also asked to create a project that could potentially make the company better. Your ideas and input aren’t listened to. Management already had their ideas pre planned. Also do not take the sign on or relocation bonus. If you hate your job you have to stay a full year otherwise you have to pay back the amount plus interest! If you like where you live don’t take this job because you can only promote if you move. Lastly if you resign no exit interview, no communication or direction. Very unprofessional.

Upper management seems to think they can constantly add more to the routes instead of adding more drivers or seasonal workers. Union contract is worthless. Union reps are worthless. Forget about getting paid for all cases PICKED UP for returns when the stores do seasonal resets. Daily bidding thats a gem... wait 30-40 minutes to pick a route and get stuck with a shiat route. Don't plan anything with family in the early evening or around holidays because they overload routes. Oh and the trucks, yeah I wouldn't go near a weigh station with half of the pieces of crap they have. God forbid you put anything bad on the DVIR or put it out of service. It won't get fixed. Bad equipment and heavy workload also = getting hurt so don't plan on having a full crew of drivers. We were always understaffed because of injuries and they can't bring in temps for injuries because of the union contract, god forbid a good temp stays longet than 90 days then they have to hire them.
