PepsiCo reviews

The current restructuring does not seem well thought out and it is not clear how it will help the company's success.

At GAMESA in Monterrey, Mexico, priorities were unclear. When the new Site Leader took over (he’s since been let go), he started letting people go immediately. The workload became intense—12-hour shifts Monday through Friday, plus weekends—with no extra pay, since we were salaried and not union-protected. I ultimately resigned, not for a better job, but for a healthier work-life balance. Even if I were offered a Site Head role, I wouldn’t return to that kind of toxic environment. Decisions there often felt random—you could be working one day and fired the next. While it’s understandable that business decisions happen, GAMESA promoted itself as a "family company," which couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ve worked at smaller companies with far better cultures than what I experienced under Pepsi’s management.
