      Merchandiser Interview

      11 Nov 2009
      Anonymous employee
      Nashville, TN
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Nashville, TN) in Nov 2009

      Interview

      Very professional. Applied online and got a call 5 days later to set interview date. First interview was 2 people. Questions were a surprise: "How can you ensure that you will get to work on time?", "Give me a time when you've had to work a flexible schedule?", "What do you know about the position?", "How do you ensure you can get to work?". Nothing hard but entry level. A week later, an "experience" day (a route ride) is set up. You work with one of the Sales Representatives, in theory, to see if you like the job or not. Don't be fooled. It is also part of the interview process. The RSR has to fill out a questionnaire (I wasn't privy to the form) about how you dressed, how you acted, did you ask questions, etc. You are NOT supposed to help out or do any work but....just don't get hurt. Liability is on you if you do. The next "official" interview was more what you would expect: " Give me a time when you failed a customer and what did you do to rectify it?", " Tell me of a circumstance that made you proud", "Why do you want to work for us?", "Tell me of a difficult situation with a customer and how you resolved?". Second interview was short. First was about an hour; second was about 20 minutes. Drug test (hair samples) and background check. This is a very professional, all business company. If you are used to dragging and hoping to get by, don't apply. You will work; you will be professional...basically what you should provide for them paying you!! A big point for me...after visiting "the office"....everybody was very friendly! Everyone said "hey, how are you", looked me in the eyes and waited for a reply. Most seemed genuinely happy. So happy people with a good business sense. Seems solid....

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Conroe, TX) in Jun 2025

      Interview

      The interview was more than frustrating for me. I arrived 10 minutes early to an empty lobby. I figured they were busy and there wasn't a bell to ring or anything to that effect. I sat there for about 15 minutes when the next interviewer came in. We began speaking and about 30 minutes later, somebody finally came out. They came to speak with that interviewer and allegedly, I was not on the roster. I offered to reschedule since I had the free time and was told their scheduler was on vacation for two weeks so they didn't want to make me wait that long. They got me into an office with somebody who clearly had other things they were taking care of and seemed annoyed by being pulled away to interview me. After the third eye roll and frustrated sigh with an explanation of benefits I've already read, I reiterated that I am more than happy to reschedule if they needed me to. I was not asked any questions about previous employment, just given information about the company followed by a signing of a sheet claiming I knew what was explained to me. At this point, I thought either they already knew they weren't going to hire me, or the interviewer believed it was onboarding information and not an interview. He rushed through everything and in a spin I was back out front with a promise of a callback. About a week later, I was declined and frustrated as it felt like they didn't even give me an opportunity.
