"Be patient! Navigating the HR maze can be quite time consuming. It is best to network your way in through existing employees and avoid as much of the HR department as possible. There is a banded salary structure so there is little room to negotiate on salary, try to negotiate a sign-on bonus, they are one of the few companies that will give one if warranted. Good Luck!!!"

What don't you like about working at PepsiCo?

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Keep it simple, focus on your customers and they will be loyal to a fault. Practice a little common sense when it comes to customer service."
