Good environment. There is a lot of room for growth and a lot of motivation from people in higher positions and the competitive nature makes one want to push harder.

They really dont care about employees
Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Cape Town, Western Cape - 31 August 2022
Salary is not enough but you work almost everyday for long hours. Its not easy to be black because all the managers are people of colour. Its 1 of those jobs you just quit while you dont have a plan.
Pros
Free data
Cons
Long hours

The culture is no longer enabling for employees to thrive and excel at what they do.
Learning and Development Specialist (Former Employee) - Isando, Gauteng - 28 October 2019
The company has good values and CoC but the management processes makes it unpleasant to work for the company. The culture has recently developed to a hostile one, there is no consistency interms of empathy and support to coach and enable staff to reach good performance levels.
Unless you are a favorite or what we called "directors pat" career growth and professional suppory will never bethere for, you woll just remain frustrated on your and blamed for everything not go right.grogrowthaprofe

It was fun and exciting to work in such big company, the only disappointing thing was the salary, according to the work that we were doing wasn't market related, overall I had a great time lots of experience i got from my manager and colleagues.

Exciting company to work for with great career growth potential.
Packaging Specialist (Current Employee) - Johannesburg - 30 August 2018
A typical day doesn't exist in PepsiCo, it's such a dynamic and exciting place to work. I have grown as a person and in my career in the time I have work with the company.
My role is challenging and rewarding. Management is supportive to career aspirations and keen to help development.
Workplace culture is built on mutual respect and understanding. It is a results driven business and KPI's are expected to be met and exceeded.
In my position, I receive continuous calls and Whatsapps out of hours which can impact work/life balance but the trade-off is a growing career, competitive salary and great work environment. My greatest satisfaction is seeing people grow in their roles.
Pros
Great team, exciting challenges.
Cons
None

I enjoyed it
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Cape Town, Western Cape - 19 June 2018
Working with PEPSISCO was one the best thing that happened in my career.
I loved it because I had a chance of meeting with different people everyday. I loved working with trucks and supplies. The challenging part was having to go to dangerous places to make the deliveries. The culture was good because old staff members helped the new staff which made the work easier.
