Great place to work
General Operative (Former Employee) – Cork – 21 June 2017
I would recommend Pepsi to anyone looking for work. The work is interesting and keeps you busy. I had plenty of opportunities to learn new things and was given every chance to further my career. i will say that it is a very difficult company to get a permanent position as an operator with.
They pride themselves on life/work balance and are very good when you need time off (within reason).

Fantastic team to work with
Office based (Former Employee) – Cork – 23 May 2018
This is the longest I have been with any company and I am excited to be moving to a new role (still with PepsiCo) but in a different part of the world. As I leave I cannot recommend working at PepsiCo in Cork enough: Amazing, friendly team who are hardworking and supportive and who you can have some fun with along the way. The everyday work experience is exciting, varied and challenging and helps support overall career development. The management, even at the most senior levels, are approachable, caring, authentic and inspiring. The team are particularly supportive of female development and as a woman, I think it is a great company to work for.
The pay and benefits are also above the average in Cork for similar roles. The best thing about it all though, is the wonderful colleagues who you’ll work with everyday.

Process Operator - Food Flavours (Current Employee) – Little Island Roads, County Cork – 19 April 2017
Working in Pepsi is great, money and hours along with the balance of family life is perfect. The social seen is very good they always try and bring people out of themselves, many nights out and parties. Work itself is like been self employed than anything you get to come up with new ideas and see them through too the end result.
Productive & friendly workplace.

I was involved in a project with other five members in PepsiCo, we were received with open hands and were support throughout the project. It was an academics college project that was carried out for a period of six months and it was not a paid work as it was part of the experience needed in preparation for the business world.
Pros

Productive and great experience.
Production/Process Operator (Current Employee) – Cork (Urban), County Cork – 19 January 2016
Working in the process rooms, if you have a good head on your shoulders and can accept responsibilities, it's a great opportunity to learn. Some days are so busy that the day is gone before you know it. The skills that are passed on are of great benefit. You are teamed up with a trained person and they pass on the knowledge. Management is great, friendly and very easy to approach and they also have the "no such thing as a stupid question" policy which should be in all working environments. Hardest part of the job is knowing that your enjoying your job that the time is passing quickly and that your contract is coming closer to an end as they mostly take only temps.
Pros
Great learning experence and management.
Cons
Temp positions only.
multinational companies, automated actions
Salesman -merchandiser (Former Employee) – Greece – 26 November 2015
A typical day starts at 7:15pm until 4am. Usually i saw 35- 40 customers every day and my responsibilities was salling and the best placement of company's products at points of sale. Major part was to gathering data that interested the company.
I met the food sector, how it is done the promotion of foods. How we find the opportunities and how to make correct placement at point of sale.
The only people I met from the management was my boss who was responsible for our group of 10 people and the HP manager who solve all our problems.
Working with my colleagues was perfect and there was always support each other.
Τhe hardest part was that many of our clients were not always very cooperative and we had to find ways to make them work with us to achieve our goals.
Βut there was a very nice atmosphere between us and we were always in a good mood.
