Pros

Benefits package is nice. Guys with high-school education, mabey a little college, can make a decent middle class wage.I have a very good route, will finish the year at 55 k. Most routes in this area earn 40 or 45 per year. Little over the shoulder supervision- almost always work alone. Easy to lie and weasle out of trouble, with Frito or the customer. Kinda like war, but nobody dies. Also most frito guys are loved at the store level. Kina like Santa. Crazy. Take home outdated stuff, still good for weeks. Not allowed, but an unenforced rule. Gotta be most popular guy in my neighborhood. People love free chips. Chips are not heavy. Little thinking required, exept very basic stuff.

Cons

Long hours-45-55 avg. some guys-jobs, a lot more. GOTTA show up- calling sick is not gonna be a habit. Inane, wildly, stunningly stupid meetings and classes. Pressure to hit numbers. Proxemity to some of the dumbest people on earth. Mid level frito managers and wal mart workers. Wow, what a combo platter.

Pros

Compensation and professional growth are very good. People are challenged early in their career and given chances to succeed or fail. If you are bright, capable, team oriented and willing to work long hours, you can succeed. If you are a diverse candidate, you will have a better chance than most to make it there as preference is given to those people.

Cons

Long hours and high pressure to deliver results. PepsiCo is very results oriented and if you aren't capable of leading change and taking risks, this company isn't the place for you.
