PepsiCo reviews

Inconsistent work schedule. Manager frequently comes to stores and "shows you a couple things" and you end up spending three-four hours following him around. Critiques the merchandise displays and back stock even though you only work in that store 1 or 2 days per week (detailer position). Paid as a detailer but asked/expected to work merchandiser route and perform merchandiser tasks. DSR and manager give opposite direction on how to perform work. Their direction is also contrary to the limited training given. Days off are inconsistent which makes it really hard to plan family events. Have to drive own vehicle to and from work and on route. The amount of product being pushed into stores is outrageous.

There is a real lack of leadership. The normal operation mode is reactive not proactive, so get used to always being short of staffing. When managers from the business unit come to town, get ready to go all out to create the craziest dog and pony show for them, instead of showing them the real world. Best part of the Dog and Pony show is that you get to take it down hours after they leave town. Customer Reps are always being asked to work their "off days" due to the lack of staffing. In this role you are expected to be on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week, it does not matter what is going on in your personal life, work comes first. You can also always count human resources to make anything more complicated then what it needs to be. It seems as if they are always working against you.
