Q&A With PepsiCo Employees

Not good. Expectation to be available all of the time. But, they pay well for the availability.

Bad

Pretty lousy. 50-60 he weeks are the norm. They are not investing in people.

Love her. Sustainable future. Invest more in employee.

We'll see how it goes with the new one. PepsiCo needs to invest in their people, not squeeze them to the breaking point with productivity.

CEO has make a lot of good changes to the organization, I think overall she is perceived very well. They can improve on how they react to short falls to plan. so the only answer cant be to raise or take price. there needs to be other options to react to an ever changing climate in the trade.

Remove top management in Houston. Ever since the new regime moved to Texas a couple years ago, its been horrible. They have removed 2 or 3 managers that were very well respected by all us drivers. Market director for Houston office should have been the first one to go.

Cleaner and newer buildings.

Recognize people more, Pay better wages, offer better benefits. This will help the culture and retain better people within the organization.

Chip Business

Soda sales continue to decline and our better for you products continue to grow. We need to continue to have a well rounded mix of products.

All of them

Health Care, Vacation, flex time.

Medical, dental, 401k - standard stuff with most companies.

The worst

Hard

Not difficult. It’s all about personal priorities. If you let work rule your life, it can. If you don’t, it won’t

Very very very hard You have no time for your family

Co-workers

The people

There is no best part at pepsico

they typically have a preferred candidate in place prior to the interview, go into it knowing that someone has been pre selected. that being said, the interview is always very standard with the same questions.

It will vary depending on the role and level. A candidate can expect to start with a phone interview followed by an on-line assessment (in most instances) and face to face interviews with anywhere from 3-5 people. From a timing perspective it can range from 2 weeks to 2 months

Dont work here

Every year 1 week

Most have 4 weeks

The best

Great bunch of people.

What kind of drugs test

Yes

Yes

In IT, pretty flexible. I have at least one WFH day and often take more depending on the need. Not scheduled or pre-approved; do your job - who cares. I also have 100% remote employees.

it works only in certain parts of our business.

It depends on the function you work within. For example, a role within production would require the employee to be on-site at all times whereas an "office" role supports working from home based on business demand. Some associates WFH 3-5 days a week while others 1 day/ week. Associates work with their teams and managers to work out the schedule that works best for all

Challenged every single day

Challenge ??? You mean work your butt of and break your back for sure

Very, always have work available to me which stretches me.

Every year 25 cents for 3 years they have union

At a minimum once a year. Typical raises for a company of this size.

Fast!

Very very fast eventhoug manager said only on mettings to take it easy but when you alone he wants you to work like a mule

Fast. No grass grows under your feet here.

Very secure

Secure we are not secure at pepsico

Most of the time. I don't let myself get too comfortable with any relationship. Want to always stay on my toes and stay authentically engaged.

Team players, results orientation, risk takers, inspirational leaders, thought leaders

The only people to succeed is the one who becomes pets of the manager Garcia if he does not like you even if you do a great or stupendous job you not succeeding in fact he will make sure you get fired

Type A personality types who can collaborate and work with others. People who own their accountability, and own their own destiny.

Depends on the team

There is no team every man for themself

Fun! Always have a tight agenda but mission is too have fun!

They do what managment tells them to do

Open and bright!

Everyone sits in pods.

There is a lot of diversity. They also have clubs and functions throughout the year.

There's a great deal of diversity at PepsiCo.
