Pros

So much room to move up, or horizontally. You really get out what you put in. Tons of projects that you can grind out and get results from. There is every kind of job imaginable, in a lot of places around the world.

Cons

Cost cutting hits hard, and you can tell. It's all about slimming down the operation and doing more with less. This is what gets me. I believe in spending money to make money, but PepsiCo does not subscribe to that theory. Very long hours, tons of responsibility. Depending on how well your department is run, you'll love it or hate it. My department has been run into the ground, very unhappy people, backlog of training, unstructured, just a miracle how it still produces product. Culture depends largely on where the job location is. I moved from the city to a town in the mountains, and people act like i'm an alien.

Pros

Flexible work schedule and the front line employees are the hardest working employees in the business and the company has Good benefits.

Cons

Everyone above you wants to give you more work to do. There is not enough hours in the day to do it all. There is a culture that allows customers to treat you however they feel like- which is terrible. The phone rings constantly. Every year they hire new people in and pay them more than you. After 7 years in my position, I found out that every new DSL hired in makes more than me, one of them $10,000/ year more. 15% of your salary is supposed to be in the form of a bonus. 25% of you bonus will be calculated on unsaleables, which is a joke. The Key account managers and region will send thousands of dollars of product into a store, which you have zero control over, it will then go out of date, so you will be held accountable for it. You will never be more than a number and you will quickly find that out. Upper Management is clueless about what a day in the life of a front line employee is all about. 3 years ago we were told that they were putting the "S" back into sales, which quickly was followed up by adding 15 more hours a week of useless paperwork into the job. With all of that being said... you WILL NOT be doing what you think that you will be. As a DSL you will be nothing more than a route driver with a district manager title, countless phone calls, endless paperwork and general feeling of not being appreciated.
