PepsiCo has worked on the buddy system for as long as I can remember. Little clubs get formed and they fast track up the ladder. They also mysteriously move around just before major reorgs to avoid being cut. System has never been fair and... — read more
Promotions
When's the last time anybody here's been promoted at PepsiCo? It seems to me that the only way to get ahead is to be a good a–kisser or related to somebody. Am i wrong? Are there promotions taking place based on merit anywhere in the company or is... — read more
Future of Naked Juice
Now that Odwalla is gone sales may go up but usually Pepsi products sell less than Coca Cola products which means if they are losing money we are losing a lot more money.
Other things matter too!
When will the ELT realize that putting profits above all else is what's dooming this company? Yes, profits are extremely important, but so are employees. Without them, the company doesn't exist. And if employees are not at least content, the company... — read more

GEO REPS

Management doesn't care about you.
Management doesn't care about you. All they care about is numbers. Work you to death. They sent out to area that you don't know. You must deliver all your stops.
More of the same

Retirement
If you put in a retirement date but still have vacation do you have to take it or will they pay you for the time. I keep getting different answers from manager and HR
Demoted 2 Levels
Why would they demote someone two levels? They k–led it in the interview and couldn't do the job? Do they keep their salary?
Pay Scale List
You were able to download this list on mypepsico.com a few years ago. The pay scale from low to max ranges for all the levels. HR removed it. I have asked HR for a copy and claim they dont have it anymore. Do you know where I can get my hands on... — read more
