Don't ever work at Pepsi

[Anonymous]

Never EVER work at Pepsi. They will start you off at around $44,000 in salary with an 8-10% bonus per year. You are expected to be at work at around 7:00a.m. and if you are done at 5 p.m. they will look down at you. You are also expected to check your stores on the weekends, and God help you if you do not answer your calls that come in at 4 in the morning. They will promise and promise lofty paychecks in just a couple of years, and it never happens.
The only bene there is the health insurance.
I have heard that it is the same at Coke.

Wow! At least the pay increased!! When I was a pre-sales rep it was $38,500 plus commissions. we had to be on the streets at 5:30am. Had to manage our piece of crap merchandisers who could never figure out how you wanted your display built!

If they are requiring that you work more than 40hrs per week w/o overtime, then they are in violation of overtime laws. It doesn't matter that you are a salaried employee. You may want to contact one of the attorneys that have been successful with pharmaceutical overtime suits.

We get OT out of our Pepsi distro. But its Backwards OT. they only pay us 8bucks an hour over 40 hours. They say "It's cause were Salary". But when I ask for addition Salary guaranteed benefits. Like Tuition assistance. Then we are on the books as hourly and no eligible! And in return when asked "why aren't we paid time and a half for our OT". They reply "because your salary".

And any complaint is responded by " Then find another job"!
