Picrel. Pepis.
Maybe some of the independent bottlers are ok, but I was corporate.
Also I got a diesel mechanic job offer from Waste Management a week and a half ago and I turned it down because the corporate environment seemed exactly like Pepsi. Sucked because I hit it off with the fleet managers and stuff but I can’t work every holiday anymore when every single person in the office is on vaca with their family.
Job security and benefits are nice. And fwiw, maybe 40% of my tenure there I had good managers who kept the majority of the bullshit in the office and let me do my job. But then at a huge company where you expect stability, you have management trying to get their bonuses, so you’re working 60+ hours a week for 4 months of the year when it’s busy and can barely keep your eyes open, and then the 4 slow months they’re telling you “we don’t need you today, go home” a day or two every week. I had 4 weeks vaca plus 8 personal days my last year there, and I burnt like 160hrs of it on days when I drove over there and didn’t have a route because it wasn’t heavy enough. And that shit was even worse when I was on base pay for small format and a grimey manager was making us work like 50hrs in 4 days, cutting is the 5th day, so you’re getting paid like a 32hr salary for working 50hrs.
