Manage twenty accounts daily (B2B), in a challenge marketplace. With profits shirking customers are quickly to find ways to increase their profit margins. I quickly and effectively overcome these challenges you using my sales skills effectively to capture sales. Along with driving incremental sales by introducing innovate sale into the marketplace.

Great to work with a brand that sales itself. Lots of accounts to manage and very fast pace.

A typical day at work consists of extreme office politics and favortism

Career typed atmosphere, great work place, good pay. Advancement opportunities are slim.

each day is a new experience in this beverage industry...the customer is the one who decides how your day will go the more they buy the harder and longer you work. in other words the more they spend the more you make

Early Morning Start time, Start by making sure everything need on truck was on board, learnt how to service vending machines. Management was fair, Co-workrs very helpful. Hardest partwas just going out after being in so early to get back at a decent time the job was only done when you've serviced all your vending machines. Most enjoyable part was being – more... done at the end of the day. – less

My typical day is work start with managing budgets, working with vendors, advertising agency and Pepsi International, managing events and promotions. I learned about about the carbonated beverage industry and working with managment in an international capacity. I am the only one in marketing department so my main interaction is with Accounting department. – more... The hardest part of my job is managing all brands in full 360 campaign. The most enjoyable part is executing events. – less

At PBG, I learned true team-work. Most of my day was spent working alone in the field with customers after I had gone over instructions with my team in the mornings. I also encouraged my drivers and merchandisers to become better employees through hard work and by taking "ownership" of their Route and or position. We worked as a unit to benefit the – more... customers and this also allowed us to become more efficient at our positions. We relied on each other to get our jobs done. "Communication "was stressed within the company, or at least with my managers and my team. – less

Great place to learn and lead a team of sales reps.
Upper management should focus on training their direct reports better.

Very demanding with not very much support from management. Co-workers are great and live and breath the pepsi culture.

Work day consists of answering phones, helping customers, and counting money. Management is helpful and my co-workers are wonderful.

Eat, sleep breath Pepsi..if you don't there is no advancement and there was a reason Pepsi Ventura had a 90% divorce rate..but perfect for single men and women. Horrible communication and terrible support most of the time work on your own.

A typical day of work involves clocking in at 2:30 am. I then pre-trip my truck to make sure it is safe for the road. My first delivery is at 3:20 am. I unload the pallets that are scheduled for that store and place them in the designated location inside the store. I get checked in by an inventory control clerk and insure the order is accurate and pricing – more... is correct. I load the back haul from previous deliveries, for example empty pallets and empty crates. I then travel to my next stop and repeat this process. I usually have 8 stops per day.
At the end of my shift I unload the back haul and put it away and get checked in by our warehouse staff to ensure all returns are accurate. I then perform a post trip inspection on my truck to make sure it is safe. Finally I settle all accounts that I have delivered and sign out for the day.

The only variation to this schedule is on Mondays where I must travel out of town for a round trip of 380 miles. – less

Pay is great, get a lot overtimes. As a loader you working all nights don't really have to spend with your family

A lot of the time, you are called in randomly to merchandise a store, sometimes 45 minutes -1 hour away from where you are. Pay is good, though. Been here about 1 year and I get just over $12 plus mileage I drive on the clock.

nice place to work
having a blast after 10yrs!
solid management team focused on the daily and short term ahead
pace is intense at times but not too gruelling for most part
teams are well sized and managed for most part
overall excellent experience

Fun environment, but can easily get burnt out of what you do. Very political and sometimes felt like being in highschool.
