Pluspunten

Nice tenured employees who are in respectable roles but have lost promotions due to Pepsi hiring young college graduates in order to save money. Other than those nice people there are not many other pros.

Minpunten

I agree Pepsi does give an opportunity of sales/management to young college grads and that was extremely appealing when I was that young college grad. In reality they are completely unorganized, always short staffed so you will be thrown into backup roles that you don’t learn anything in (unless you want to count and order pop in gas stations and grocery stores or run orders to those gas stations), and they expect you to help manage a team of people that have no respect for you because they know you will be transferred to a new location in a year. You get to know those people and instead of helping them promote to a position because of their hard work you know that either yourself or a campus hire will take that position instead. In this position you are also asked to create a project that could potentially make the company better. Your ideas and input aren’t listened to. Management already had their ideas pre planned. Also do not take the sign on or relocation bonus. If you hate your job you have to stay a full year otherwise you have to pay back the amount plus interest! If you like where you live don’t take this job because you can only promote if you move. Lastly if you resign no exit interview, no communication or direction. Very unprofessional.

Pluspunten

Worked for PepsiCo for 10 years across four locations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Florida. Gained experience in multiple sales and operational roles while supporting account growth, merchandising, and customer relationships. Florida locations were especially well-operated and efficient. PepsiCo provided competitive pay, solid benefits through Keystone, and a good vacation package compared to competitors in the beverage industry. The company also offered strong sales incentive programs, earning rewards such as Orlando Magic floor seats, Pro Bowl tickets, Apple Watches, and Yeti cups for exceeding performance goals and driving sales results.

Minpunten

While PepsiCo promotes internal growth opportunities, many promotions and leadership opportunities appeared to favor college internship hires over long-term internal employees. In some cases, newer college-based management pushed corporate initiatives without fully understanding local market realities or account volume trends. For example, innovation products were sometimes forced into low-volume accounts where sell-through was unrealistic. Operationally, certain delivery processes could be improved, particularly with Tropicana products being stored in coolers on trucks for extended periods, which could impact product quality and increase waste. Work-life balance could also be challenging, as sales representatives commonly worked 50–60 hour weeks. Expectations from corporate leadership were often unrealistic, especially when customer representatives and drivers were expected to fully stock stores while servicing 15+ accounts per day. Experiences could also vary depending on whether locations were union or non-union operated.
