Pros

Weekly Pay, Great co-worker personalities, they seem to have extra money laying around to pay management to get on here and write positive reviews to try and fool you, yet they keep pushing for pay cuts every contract.

Cons

Too many to list. ill just add a few. Anything less than 50 hours a week is frowned upon by management. the union is obviously corrupt and the union contracts just keep getting worse and worse. every new contract= less pay for the workers. That should let you know how such a big and growing company really feels about its precious workers. not enough days off and no time to rest or take a break during the work day. up from about 1 or 2 am and working till around 3 or 4pm usually, then get home maybe about 5 then better get to bed right away because u gotta be up for 1 or 2am. there will be no remorse for you or your family. its all sales. and when they get desperate they will force you or someone else to overstock the markets, this will kill the sales targets for weeks to come, the manager will make their bonus while your next few paychecks take a huge dive and your store managers will be upset at you. theres much much more. please dont work here. everything changed for worse within the last 6 years.

Pros

Exciting, fast paced, and competitive

Cons

Ridiculous hours, terrible communication channels, nothing gets done when you need it, pay is decent if the hours were fairly normal, very little appreciation for winning contests or good performance.

Pros

Good people to work with, terrific life experiences as well as real world training. Learned a lot about what not to do to employees and how not to manage frontline EE's.

Cons

- Work life balance is preached and yet if you try it, you get absolutely piled on. - As others have mentioned, Pepsi is hiring managers based on quotas and not actual experience. There are Sales Managers and Directors who have no business leading teams. - This company only cares about what the P&L says and how much Indra is returning to shareholders, all other important decisions get short shrift - Zero collaboration with goal writing - everything is handed down from finance with completely unrealistic expectations, or actual knowledge of how to achieve said plans. Shoot then point attitudes abound. - The cutting back of resources has hit all time low, it is absolutely impossible to manage customer expectations with so few field assets. - I could go on like this for pages.....
