Pros

PBG has a fun culture. Their brands are well known and they focus on execution. The company is very competitive being in a n industry with two key competitors so if that fits your pesonality it is a great place to go. Additionally, there are always new products coming out from PepsiCo so you get to be on the cutting edge of new products and consumer trends and you get free samples as well!

Cons

The company believes in "punching cards" and so if you are on a fast track tot he top, you can be sidelined by having to do a certain function before you can move up. Also, they have very little regard for relocating employees.

Pros

PepsiCo has some of the best senior leadership I've ever seen...not only are they talented, but they're equally inspiring. The company provides a lot of on-the-job training, which brings a continual element of challenge to daily work. PepsiCo is one of those places where you'll get as much as you put in...if you go the extra mile and make meaningful business contributions, then numerous opportunities will be available to you.

Cons

There is a little inconsistency in terms of culture across the different divisions. Additionally, PepsiCo could stand to provide new/early managers with more training. At times there doesn't seem to be the level of transparency required (especially when it comes to the performance management and people planning processes).

Pros

Large company with vast resources. Has significant retail experience and presence, so if you have interest in learning about how my market at a mass scale, this is a decent place. Interesting to manage operations that require refridgeration and a complex supply chain.

Cons

If you are interested in a varied experience, this is not the place. Trop is focused on being a small part of the PepsiCo portfolio. I left right when Neil came on, and his focus is profitability. If you want a place the will give you the experience of brand equity building, work on Gatorage or Pepsi. Also, Pepsi is going to move all of their beverages to NY in the next 3-5 years (in my opinion). Therefore, if working in Chicago is important to you this may be a shot term opportunity.
