PepsiCo – “Lots of bad Managers, and that can kill your career at PepsiCo”

1 of 2 people found this helpful

PepsiCo Assistant Marketing Manager in Chicago, IL: (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

Great brands, reasonable work life balance, diversity of experience. Even if you have to take the beating for a few years, it looks good on your resume

Cons

Horrible managers, favoritism everywhere, a general disdain for anyone but senior leadership expressing their own opinion. Lack of fresh ideas and fear of true innovation.

Advice to Senior Management

Get rid of Massimo. Stop playing games with your best brands (Tropicana and Gatorade) and give them back to the brand managers, instead of the agencies.

by Former Employee:

I too experienced the favoritism by senior management. Prior to the purchase of Quaker Oats by PepsiCo, the environment was productive and friendly. Employees were empowered to do their jobs with minimal interruptions. It seems once everyone was under the PEPSICO umbrella, this atmosphere changed for the worse. The company became extremely political, and very "game play" oriented. Since I was not one for game play, I was let go after 17 years of service. I must say that I enjoyed working for Quaker Oats, but I cannot say the same about PepsiCo..

Inappropriate?
