Working at PepsiCo in Sacramento, CA: 3 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Sacramento, CA Area

"Being a merchandiser has its perks. You tend to work alone and make decisions on the fly which is nice. You get about 56 cents per mile when you drive from the plant to various stores. Pay depends whether you are part time or full time (full time makes more per hour). Be decently fit and have a thick skin - there will be days where you are the scapegoat and get blamed by the store or sales rep for the other merchandiser's mistakes. Stores you service can make or break your day too."
