What don't you like about working at PepsiCo?

"The disorganization of the management and key account managers. The company does not listen to their sales people. Expect high sales numbers with low stales numbers. Warehouse is unable to rotate product of which sales people end up with short coded product and are expected to get out large quantities without returns (stales). Management schedules write up to keep sales people in line. There is a lot of extra work due to dated equipment. Pay will stay the same most of the time you are there. Over time pay is less per hour than straight pay. No time and a half."
