Pros

For those in the correct circle, you get to work with cutting edge technology, and get lots of exposure to different methods of management.

Cons

Based on the group you are with - there is to much of a "if I like you, you do well, if I don't, you don't" - you can stand against this if you've been there long enough, but if not, you won't stand a chance. Also, beware beware beware - they don't practice on boarding very well at all - you get hired, and then have to figure it out on your own. (again, my experience - others may vary).

Pros

- Positive atmosphere - Plenty of support - Good pay - Very organized

Cons

In my experience there are very few cons, I really enjoyed my time working for PepsiCo. The worst part would be the lack of AC in the warehouses, but this is standard.

Pros

Worked for PepsiCo for 10 years across four locations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Florida. Gained experience in multiple sales and operational roles while supporting account growth, merchandising, and customer relationships. Florida locations were especially well-operated and efficient. PepsiCo provided competitive pay, solid benefits through Keystone, and a good vacation package compared to competitors in the beverage industry. The company also offered strong sales incentive programs, earning rewards such as Orlando Magic floor seats, Pro Bowl tickets, Apple Watches, and Yeti cups for exceeding performance goals and driving sales results.

Cons

While PepsiCo promotes internal growth opportunities, many promotions and leadership opportunities appeared to favor college internship hires over long-term internal employees. In some cases, newer college-based management pushed corporate initiatives without fully understanding local market realities or account volume trends. For example, innovation products were sometimes forced into low-volume accounts where sell-through was unrealistic. Operationally, certain delivery processes could be improved, particularly with Tropicana products being stored in coolers on trucks for extended periods, which could impact product quality and increase waste. Work-life balance could also be challenging, as sales representatives commonly worked 50–60 hour weeks. Expectations from corporate leadership were often unrealistic, especially when customer representatives and drivers were expected to fully stock stores while servicing 15+ accounts per day. Experiences could also vary depending on whether locations were union or non-union operated.
