Tough to get permanent contracts only at the start lucky if there is 10 perm jobs and about 80 going for them . It’s a very hard place to get into great money tho

Working for pepsico

Production Operator/Machine (Current Employee) - Little Island, County Cork - 27 February 2022

I've had many jobs in my young career, this is by far the best company I have worked for. The money is brilliant, very comfortable living. I'm currently on a short term contract but hopeful it will be extended. The work is fast paced and isn't too hard, plenty of progression if you show initiative and interest. Love going to work on a daily basis. Hopeful for a permanent would mean to world to me.

Pros

Canteen, overtime, excellent wages, friendly staff, management.

Cons

Longer contracts, more permanent jobs for hard working individuals

Best job I ever had

General Operative (Former Employee) - Cork - 11 April 2020

Great job, great atmosphere, engaging and encouraging management. You can gain a great deal of experience if you are willing to show initiative and show you want to learn. Very unlikely that you'll be made permanent.

Low pay and no room for progression

Finance analyst (Former Employee) - Cork - 22 March 2020

Pay is low compared to other industries in the area. The finance management are there for life, so you will never progress as you would elsewhere. Move on fast if you want a career or don't bother going there in the first place.

Pros

Work life balance

Cons

No progression and low pay

Good place to work

Warehouse Operator (Former Employee) - Cork - 22 May 2019

Very good place to work. Good money and plenty of OT. People are really nice and always ready to help. But there is one "BUT".. Why there's not even one foreign person on a Perm basis? I don't belive there wasn't even one Lituahnian or Polish as good as Irish. I think that is a very big problem in this company. Everything else works well.

Pros

Work enviroment, people, work/life balance

Cons

Discrimination?

Easy going and productive

Supply Chain Senior Coordinator (Current Employee) - Cork - 13 September 2018

I work in data oriented team with excellent management. Training is a bit sketchy at times, however this is not due to anyone's incompetence, but merely high work load.

Pros

Good office culture

Training could be a bit better

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.

Pros

People, Management, Benefits, culture, Summer and Santa hours

Cons

Nothing

Strong growth & learning

Manager (Former Employee) - Carrigaline, County Cork - 25 September 2017

Culture is strong for learning & growth. Many people are friendly and willing to help newer employees. Great benefits. Great salary. Focus swayed too much to cost savings instead of careers. Heavy workload and long hours.
