Pros

The product innovations are clearly ahead of the competition. The company has figured out what consumers are looking for. Pepsi continues to try different things which appeal to a wide demographic.

Cons

Respect and upper management. Pepsi has went 10 years backwards. The company that was built with a right side up philosphy, putting the employee on top and listening to ideas and the voices of our customers have been taken over by Dictatorship. Employees are scared and the customers are beginning to notice. The workforce is becoming negative and are not being heard. Threats of being fired are a daily reminder.

Pros

The pay appears to be beyond other companies in the same industry. Pepsico salaries are composed of several parts, base salary for the position with merit increases based on the industry average or standard, annual bonus, premium bonus , top performer bonus and then stock options in most case. The bonuses are not given right away in some cases..in order to have retention the bonuses are split across three years as well as some of the stock options..If someone decides to work for this company I believe the pay structure would be in line with duties requested.Not a problem in this category.

Cons

Very large company with over 185,000 employees...might not know all about other opportunities. The companies has enough areas that sometimes folks could get lost in the shuffle. The company has 18 brands that are least above $1 billion in sales. With that type of success it might be difficult for one to change from area of the company to the next unless specifically groomed to do so. They do have an executive intern program which considers young MBA's right out of school or currently in school over the summer months. Great opportunity to get some hands on experience. Downside would be those already in the company who may be pursuing MBA's. Not fully disclosed what kind of possibilities would occur after successful completion.
