You are NEVER OFF WORK

Merchandising manager

Business Outlook

Pros

RIght out of college, you get branded on your resume by a big name company. Pepsi is at the top of the beverage world, so you learn a lot about it. Pepsico also owns several other brand leaders, so cross company movement is an option.

Cons

You are never off. You are issued a cell phone that must be on 24hours. Instead of fixing problems, you are coached to just put fires out. So, you constantly are dealing with the same problem. There is little to no work/life balance. This is a Top-Down problem. Part of the PepsiCo culture. Most departments are under staffed.
