Pros

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

Business Outlook

Pros

High quality, very loyal workforce. You will learn a lot. Many, many opportunities to add value. Great relationships with external partners and vendors. Company is a leader in areas of sustainability and diversity. Performance with Purpose is the right overarching vision statement.

Cons

Lost its "work hard, play hard" reputation. Huge disconnect with how sr executives value contributions made by a quality work force. Core issue is that sr executive leaders are not able to prioritize thus not able to focus employee's accountabilities and work load. Everything is a priority thus it is a challenge to do the right work the right way. For many years, I use to say I love my job.
