Pros
Salary - when compared to competition Ability to gain knowledge Atmosphere (Quaker Oats prior to PepsiCo purchase) Benefits package Retirement package
Cons
Too political. Before the purchase of Quaker Oats by PepsiCo, the environment was productive and friendly. Employees were respected and empowered to do their jobs. It seems once everyone was under the PEPSICO umbrella, this atmosphere changed for the worse. The company became extremely political, very "game play" and "who you know" oriented. Since I was not one for game play, I was let go after 17 years of service. I must say that I enjoyed working for Quaker Oats, but I cannot say the same about PepsiCo.
