Pros

Resume builder... the people are generally very smart and competent -- but the best thing about PepsiCo on your resume.... is PepsiCo on your resume.

Cons

The only way to make really good money at Pepsi is to leave....then return at a much higher salary. Far too often -- the corporate culture rewards style over substance as the dritical employee trait, as is indicated by the common internal catch-phrase "pepsi pretty". Pepsi has gone from beinga true brand powerhouse, to being a barn full of bean counters .... it will catch up soon. Innovation is truly dead. But this is not uncommon where many strong branding/marketing companies are putting folks that should be CFOs, into CEO positions [Indra Nooyi].

Pros

Benefits are good. Freedom to wok alone. Training was very good was a week if comprehensive training. Personal trainer was very through and hard working.

Cons

They told me I would make a certain amount and when I got my check it was for a lot less. Was not happy. No leadership as far as groups goals. They have a sheet hanging on the wall with your numbers but no plan to hit those goals. Interview process was very bad , had to call many times to find out when I would be starting. Many negative people working ast this location.

Pros

If you want to learn about the industry, this is the place to be. It is amazing how complex and comprehensive this company is (from seed to shelf)!

Cons

Downsides = Long, long hours. It does not matter if you are in the field or in headquarters. Almost everyone I know is a "crack-berry" addict. It's almost like a cult... We can't shut it off!! But then again, Frito-Lay is known for hiring agressive over-achievers with Type-A personalities. Unfortunately, Gen-Y'ers are in for a rude awakening.
