Pros

Good platform to jump from; in 3yrs I have seen co-workers all leave the company (at less than 1.5yrs served) to other roles for +30% salary. Good best practices; when I speak to colleagues about how we execute our planning, at the level of detail, with our level of control, I am listened to for guidance. A good second masters degree; generally a very well run program-I joined PepsiCo because I wanted a tighter run org in my life and was exhausted from having to inherit others' past lapses-PepsiCo finance is that very tight and well run machine, its good exposure into how to approach solid financial modeling and planning.

Cons

Overlapping & conflicting deliverables. Lack of respect towards employees. Large turnover. High stress in an investment banking attitude type life. Make corn syrup for America. Extreme, reads extreme, social engineering in promotion: in interviewing candidates for my department the focus has always been in the end to extend offers only to diversity qualifying candidates before those best qualified should they not fit that diversity background. Diversity inside PepsiCo is a verb; in three years I have seen bad results from this and there are race problems brewing within the ranks here. It is very unfortunate because by instituting a bonus structure to those Mgrs which hire a diversity candidate an artificial rainbow is created & doesn't work well together.

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.
