Pros

loyal work force, family like culture, fun morale boosting events such as retreats and offsites.

Cons

Being a diverse or female candidate with a MBA is almost a sure thing to a fast tracked Director level role. The company is pushing very hard to check off the "diversity" box, which is a metric on a band 1 or higher level annual review. This often times can lead to placing candidates in elevated positions in which they aren't fully prepared for. PepsiCo also aims to be at the 75th percentile in terms of compensation, so the best advice would be to work 18- 24 months to get the "gold standard" PepsiCo brand on your resume, jump to another competitor or smaller startup CPG company for a much, much, much higher comp.

Pros

I worked for Frito Lay for 25 years and enjoyed every minute working with the people. The benefits are very good.

Cons

This company expect a great deal from employees with very little in the way of compensation (pay). I was working around 70 hours a week and the pay nowhere near matched the hours I was putting in. This is why I eventually quit to go back to school.
