I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Youngwood, PA) in May 2010
Interview
It was simple took a test online seeing if you were able to count. Then a phone interview telling you about your job and what your duties are. Lastly your face to face is where they actually interview you and ask questions.

Its pretty basic stuff, asking about your ability to consolidate your product, asking your communication skills with communicating with management, and asking if your able to work long hours.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Madison, WI) in Jul 2008
Interview
Overall, the interview process was relatively easy. After the employee recommendation, I got a call their HR person who asked general questions mostly regarding the fit. Afterwords, it took one month to proceed with the actual interview. The district manager called me to invite for the interview. Interview itself was rather general and relatively friendly.
Got a call after two weeks that I was hired.

If your customer is angry about the service, how would you solve the conflict?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Odessa, TX) in Apr 2012
Interview
Apply online. If willing to relocate, the key is to apply in a relatively less competitive region, employment wise. Or apply in a region where with strong growth.
1. Apply online
2. Self schedule a telephonic interview time at the end of the online application in the near future.
3. THe basic phone interview is very simple, basically just a screener. Be practical, give relevant examples, be positive. show that you can work independently and meed tight deadlines and are good under pressure (because this is a very high pressure job)
4. Give them as much relevant experience/customer service/sales experiece as possible. even if you do not have relative industry experience, focus on previously acquired experience that is transferrable to the job (basically customer service and strong sales experience).
Be positive, the interview is really not that difficult. In case I did not mention the progression yet, it is... 1. online application, 2. telephonic interview 3. Face to Face intervie 4. Physical test 5. Drug test, 6. Background Check and then hopefully the final employment offer with a joining date. Good Luck guys and be positive.
Just 1 word of advice base on personal experience, if applying for sales rep position, apply for small for and avoid large format because it is basically the same pay but large format involves excessive back-breaking merchandising every single day

Question 1
Not too many difficuly questions but they might give you a simulation i.e. give you a new product and ask you to sell it to a store manager.
