Chicago, IL (US)

Former Employee – worked at PepsiCo full-time for more than 10 years

ProsProgressive Company that provides a multitude of opportunities for job growth. Learned more in the 10 years that I worked for them than all of the other companies I worked for combined.

Employee compensation and benefits were excellent.

ConsStock price and investor relations was more important to them than their employees. Every year the company reorganized and consolidated.

Advice to Senior ManagementAlign the divisions, instead of cutting jobs. My biggest competitors in the market place were the other divisions in the company.

Shanghai, Shanghai (China)

Former Employee – worked at PepsiCo full-time for more than a year

ProsPepsiCo China values people and truly cherish talents. There are constant changes within the organization so it presents a lot of opportunities to grow if you have high ambition and energy. Its culture is diversified and inclusive with dynamics, just like its brands.

ConsPepsiCo China has started the strategic alliance with Tingyi, which casts some shadow on the culture that PepsiCo had before. It is a question if the company can keep its vibe and spirit in the future.

Advice to Senior ManagementNurture better senior managers.

Schaumburg, IL (US)

Current Employee – been working at PepsiCo full-time for more than 10 years

ProsIf you're driven to make money you can do OK for yourself, but as the highest paid salesman in my region I am paid well below what other Salesman make in other companies.

ConsLow Pay - Poor Medical Benefits - Continuous decline of incentives - Promotion is as much based on the ability to relocate than on performance. I would not recommend this place to anyone - Pay way too low.

Advice to Senior ManagementI am a senior sales manager and I would love to apologize to future employees, we just can't pay you what you're worth and its only going to get worse. Go get a job selling pharmaceuticals...

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
