Pros

A lot of opportunities to grow and priority assignments given at entry level positions. You are given the challenges are asked to take them head on while balancing many other things, it really is an interview to show whether you are up for the demanding role.

Cons

work-life balance will always be a struggle once hired on, if you're okay with working Mon-Fri and having weekends to yourself. You'll be at home here, if you value doing things during the week.. You may lose some sleep.

Pros

This review is for the Frito-Lay side of the house. I am an engineering student who was looking for a job where I could use my problem solving skills but not be stuck on CAD software all day. This was the perfect internship for someone with a technical background but who wants to be in a management role. -Great Pay ($22.31/hr) -Meaningful Projects -If hired full time a lot of opportunity for advancement -Working with intelligent experienced individuals -A lot of freedom in doing what you want with your project -Support from your leaders -Very flexible in the hours you work -Really enjoyed the other interns I worked with

Cons

-If hired full time and you want to be successful it appears your work life balance is not the greatest. -Company did not organize many events for the interns to do outside of working on their project -Needs a better on-boarding program for interns. (would be nice to see from potato to self kind of ordeal before we get working on our projects) -Was informed they got rid of pension plan (doesn't give you a lot of reason not to switch companies mid career) -Was told upper management with a lot of years are being forced out (which is scary for someone looking to make a long term career with this company)

Pros

Working at PepsiCo has been such a rewarding experience. You have flexible hours, a network of people to support you, and free product (sometimes)! Working as a Supply Chain Intern, you sit near the Supply Chain Leaders and see what their day-to-day life is like. It's a great experience because you can see your future role in PepsiCo and if it's really something you want. They really make sure you get the most you can out of your experience, even if you won't accept a full time position if they offered you one. Working at PepsiCo, you won't be that stereotypical intern getting coffee for everyone. You'll be working on a real project with real impacts on the business.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to influence people with long tenure because you are just an intern. Also, people don't tell you everything you need to know, and you have to ask the right people the right questions or else you will end up wasting a lot of time just learning the background of your project. At times, it can be stressful because your project can be very impactful, but as long as you find a good work life balance, you will come out strong.
