Pros
The only real pro for this job is that if you show up and do your job well you are pretty much left alone. I do like that I can listen to my headphones while working in stores. You get 2 weeks paid vacation at the start of the year even if you've only been there a short time.
Cons
Highly overworked. Pepsi seems to set routes for merchandisers and sales people that stretch them to the limits of what is possible for a human. There are many days I work 12-15 hours of hard physical labor. When asking for help it is rarely possible. Some days are only 5-8 hours but you'll need those to recover from the longer ones. Co-workers can be very hit or miss with more miss than hit. If someone doesn't work your stores properly in front of you it can lead to very long days if you are the type of person who does work right. They talk a lot about the opportunity for advancement but that seems to only apply for minorities. If you aren't a minority you will likely get passed up for promotions by less qualified minorities.
