Pepsi Bottling – “Good luck but I am glad to be gone.”
Pros
It was a goog step in the door, a good job to get me into sales out of school. I was able to learn a great deal about dsd selling and it's challanges, as well as expericen with grocery store managment and employee's. It was also helped to teach me about working with out direct supervision, and planning my day to be at accounts and how to do a store call. Unfortunatly I do not have many good things to say about managment or how I was treated with this company, some of which you will see in the downsides section.
Cons
I never felt appreciated or valued. I felt like I was replaceable and not important. When I struggled I had great difficulty getting my direct supervisor to help. The training was lacking and imcomplete. The managment I felt never listened to employee's or valued their opinions. Issues were not addressed unless I was to blame when I had an issue with other coworkers or in a store managment never helped me to resolve the problem. Overall I found out why PBG has such high turn over and so few people at my level who had spent more then a year with PBG.
Advice to Senior Management
Listen to your employee's. Take the time to help them when needed. Identify some one who is struggling and help them improve. Be more honest in the interview process about what the job entails. If had know then what I do now about the position I proboly would not have taken the position.
