PepsiCo reviews

Not really sure where to begin. I left PepsiCo after about 11 months on the job. I was a college graduate, and was in the Campus Hire Program as a Customer Management Senior Associate, which means I was a sales/account manager for the beverage department. -I graduated with a marketing degree, and was under the impression that this job would land me a role down the road in the field of marketing. -It is nothing like you would expect. You are a front line employee with a team of individuals who are all double your age. You report to managers who are only a few years older than you. You get to your first account at 6am most days and do not finish until around 2 or 3pm. -Basically what I am saying is when you graduate college, you do not think you'll be working a job where you are packing out coolers in convenience stores, and driving around all day going from account to account by yourself. -Also, the next position, if you get promoted usually 12-20 months, is all in operations and dealing with union employees.

No work life balance. 65-70 hour work weeks are the norm. Not enough resources. No clear direction from senior leaders. Reorgs impact Frito, Quaker/Trop and/or Pepsi every year.2017- Lowest bonus payouts in 18 years.. This year will be even worse. If it wasn’t for the pension, the senior workforce would be gone.
