Pros

Good pay with zero experience. You can’t find many non-factory, part time jobs that will pay $13+ in Indiana. They work with me on my school schedule, and seem more than willing to let me plan a vacation as long as it isn’t around a busy pop-selling holiday. You get a work iphone. You are alone on your route, so no bosses will mess with you unless it’s a text to check up. This makes it less stressful for the way I work. You are granted the ability to work “your” way rather than by a strict standard that places like Walmart may make their employees follow.

Cons

First thing you notice, they send you with the experienced people doing the full time version of your job. Almost immediately all of them will see something wrong and blame the “part timers” who work the night shift ONLY, so they will have it in their heads that they are only doing perfect work. It seems crazy, and I know everyone always blames the other shifts, but the issue I have is deeper than this. I have called/sent a picture of a store that I worked on that looked empty and unserviced in the morning, the manager will reply and say he’ll handle it. The next day I get texts from two upper bosses saying to not blame the full timers because they don’t make mistakes and that they “check” on them. I literally just stopped complaining to bosses after that because I know they will not listen to you. Also, the turnover rate is crazy for the part timers. You also drive YOUR car, so you could potentially drive yours to death like I did to mine. (Good news= you get mileage pay and it was enough for me to use on a new car down payment).

Pros

Good pay with excellent benefits, great co-workers, room for advancement, cheap Cola and the ability to buy case drinks and chips from Frito-Lay cheap

Cons

Excessive amount of management, machines are in horrible condition with most of the wiring roughshod in with no drawings or labeling. There is no coordination between operations and maintenance. So many machines are band aided together and they won’t order the parts to repair them. Management likes to supervise through cameras that were originally installed for employee safety. Not much ethics in upper management. They like to jerk your hours around with little rest between shifts. There is no structured safety training. Pretty much watch a video and guess through the test. No SOPs or training for operators.

Pros

Benefits are good. If your hired off a college campus your career at Pepsi is set. Nothing more to be said for pro.

Cons

Continues to lower commissions and make all reps make same pay regardless of quality worker. This company does not focus on current talent or try to enhance current talent.
