PepsiCo reviews

It is completely about politics. Many lazy people who go to the topless bars with their bosses, and go out for drinking get promoted. Meanwhile, those that do an honest day's work get left behind. The pay is a joke for the work you do. Pepsi has many unbelieveable hurdles to meet. And when they are not met, they play the blame game for reasons why the numbers had not been me. They rarely look at the fact that they underpay the employess, expect them to work on assigned holidays, weekends. Yet if you are in the "club" you can get away with murder.

Caustic culture at times, not very people-oriented. Ulitmately, you are evaluated based on whether or not you can meet/beat your numbers, which in theory is a good rule, but marketing managers are not in control of establishing what those numbers should be, even after months of doing analysis. Senior management will just tell you what they want the numbers to be. So being a marketing manager gives you all the responsibility but none of the control. That is not a very empowering or motivating position to be in.
