PepsiCo – “PepsiCo is a company that has always positioned itself as second best”

Pros

PepsiCo offers competitive salaries, half day fridays during the summer, a diverse workforce, some training opprotunities and decent benefits.

Cons

PepsiCo is a hard company to work for because there is no manager accountability, projects mandated from senior leadership that are controversial, and the company for some reason has the "me too" mentality that does not foster innovation and creativity.

Advice to Senior Management

PepsiCo needs to revamp it's innovation and idea creation program. Also, need to make manager more accountable - especially new managers. Training for new managers needs to be completely reworked.
