Horrible Company

Pros

The people who have stuck it out through the good and bad.

Cons

There’s a lot of favoritism. Many new people joining the company from PepsiCo. They’re being brought in at more money and promotions. The Associates are not treated well unless your in the “in crowd”. It’s like High School. Many of the leaders have no idea what they’re doing in their promoted roles. Benefits are VERY expensive and not affordable for the hourly.

Pros

Coworkers are great and location for traffic is better than RTP area

Cons

Will pay external candidates more than internal for positions trying to promote to. Seems to only hire female and foreigners now since pushing the culture aspect and then blast all over social media. Treats hourly team members differently than salaried ones even in corporate setting where in professional roles. Mgmt plays favorites quite a bit and if new, favors people they hire vs ones already there.

Pros

Good work environment, meet many people from different backgrounds, laid back work environment

Cons

No mentoring programs, no increase of pay unless promoted to new position, no latteral movement unless someone leaves-- then you receive brief training and expected to perform. General managers do not receive enough formal business training and have difficulty understanding business models. Expected to work outside, destroying your clothing from battery acid that is not compensated or provided. No corporate culture or morale, team building exercises
