Pros
A great Work Life Balance can be achieved. The hours are 9-5 usually with some overtime required. Travel is very less in IT especially with the current cost cutting measures. Employers are great who appreciate when we need time to work from home or other domestic commitments. Benefits are very decent compared to the industry with medical Dental vision , LTD, ADD at $300 per mo. Pepsi Bottling Group does participate in Health and dependent care Plans. Other perks are great like the Gym in the office, nurse service, money management planning, Healthy living planning and Sports activities throughout the year. Job stability is good as long as people continue consuming Pepsi products.
Cons
Compensation in the Pepsi Bottling Group is not up to the industry standards especially in the Westchester County area for the Information Technology Department. Career growth could be better. Employees are not as motivated because of lesser income in the IT department compared to the industry. Recognition is good but could be better. Feedback systems are good too. Sometimes moving around could be better managed. Employee morale could be lifted by having the It department be a mover rather than a support system. The employees would like to make more business decisions if possible and being accountable for it too.
