Everytime I walk into a store it looks like nobody has touched my displays in a week. How hard is it to merchandise?! Management wants us to sell more when my ftows can't even handle what I have now. This structure is an absolute joke.
Sticking around
I'm only sticking around to get the buyout next April. If they end up not letting the reps go I'm gonna be pi---d
Almost no one expects improvement anymore
It’s so sad that people are so unhappy at mondelez, and for good reason! Management is the absolute worse! Treat employees like dirt. Everyday someone goes to worn for mondelez, they are contributing to the problem by allowing “business as... — read more
Did anyone else get letter about cyber breach
Did anyone get the personal info stolen by a Mondelēz cyber breach
Hershey
Did Hershey do the exact same thing we did? All I ever see them hiring is part timers that are also expected to sell.
Ups/amazon strike
Follow these strikes closely. These unions are fighting for the working man. Corporate greed needs to end and it will all start with UPS
More lies, straight from the top!
Despicable to read about Mondelez still cranking out cookies and cr--kers in Russia when nearly every other company pulled out, a long time ago! And the excuses they use! There should be a boycott on all Mondelez products in the US! Not like they are... — read more
Case of Mistaken Identity…Everyday
Is it just me or do you too get asked by managers if you are the Sales Rep…? lol I’m not a SR, I’m a Merchandiser, but it’s kind of surprising when I walk into stores and get approached by management asking if I’m the SR because apparently they... — read more
Pronoun Badges????
Did anyone else get the email asking for your "pronouns" for new mandatory company badges? I heard it will be a level two write up if you don't wear these when working.
Thirty three hours
Wth 33 hours and there is 43 hours worth of work that needs to be done. This is ridiculous. Stores look like cr-p. Backstock looks like cr-p. Store employees just look at us like we have lost our minds. This nightmare just needs to be over. If we... — read more
Can't wait!
I can't wait to move on from this company. It has to make sense financially for me and my family before doing so. All I know is it will be such a relief to move on and great for my mental health. I'm embarrassed to work for this company at the... — read more
Straight up
Months into this and it’s still a train wreck. You want me to go to the manager that has had skipped deliveries, out of stocks, then over ordering, not building displays, not ordering for displays. But still try to sell them on something? This... — read more
Is it the industry or is it the company?
I have a friend who works in another company in the industry and who also complains that their management is terrible. I can't tell if bad management is characteristic of Mondelez or if the problem is present in the whole industry?
Rumblings
Had anybody heard rumblings that sales reps are gone next April; completely 100% order writers going forward?

What are you even doing?
Finally popped in some stores to shop after 2 months. My dominating display presence has been reduced by 90%. I thought the whole point was you’d all have more time to sell since that’s all you’re supposed to be doing. It doesn’t even look like they... — read more
Recession
Literally every company is doing what mondelez is doing. Everyone is losing pay, jobs and being overworked.
My first stress free holiday in 20 years.
What a difference mentally. Happy Memorial Day everybody
How many more responsibilities do you have than you were hired for?
Well actually everyone took on more responsibilities than what they were "hired" to do unless you were just recently hired, and with no extra pay. Add in the constant technical and logistics issues and I think whining is acceptable. Op... — read more
Sales Objectives
Does anyone even look at the sales numbers anymore? I don't even know if I hit month 1 lol. I could care less
Time to unionize??
I think we’ve been pushed to that point

Didn't get paid my Vacation Time
I quit Mondelez in April after 2 miserable years. I had earned 13 PTO days for 2023, hadn't used any. Mondelez did not pay out any of my earned PTO time. Is this even legal? What are my options and who should I call? If they try to day it's... — read more

Mission 1
Make sure you sell sell sell. Don't want to miss out on that $150 bonus after hitting that 2 million dollar quarter objective lmao
Pointless
Its pointless to even try and hit a number. These bonuses are embarrassing. They lower them every year.
I need money
Do Q1 bonuses come this week?
I'm not leaving
I'm not leaving til they buy me out
Question for those already months in Mission 1
Mission 1 obviously started late last year. To those already deep in this new program we are in, what has it been like? Has it gotten easier? Is there talk about the next phase and if so what are you hearing? Down here, we are only 2 weeks in and... — read more
Remember
Work slow. Very slow. Get that OT. Don't let this greedy company get away w paying you less. Bonuses will be rare with this structure.
I make the same
As I did 10 years ago. With inflation its like a 20k reduction in salary. Thanks mondelez you sc-m buckets.
Anyone leave in the middle of pay cycle and not get there 1 week.
My last day was Apr21st after 19 years. That was a regular pay day. I was expecting one week for Apr 17-21 to be on the next pay day. The company is saying that I was paid for those days on the 21st. And that they don't hold a week back. How can... — read more
We don't have enough people to get the job done
How many complaints do we need to receive before we finally get a few more people hired instead of a few more people laid off? I'm honestly curious, how long do loads have to sit untouched for somebody to say, hey, maybe we could use more people if... — read more
Circle Of Champion.

Everyone Is Angry
This used to be a good job. Now it’s like working with a bunch of toxic hateful under paid over worked ticking time bo--s. Everyone on edge all the time. It’s just not worth it.
Severance
Did anybody get their severance pay yet?
That's it I quit
I will finish my job today as the sales rep But after today they can find somebody else. I am parking my no good Chevy Malibu In my manager's yard And joining my colleague who is cutting yards and doing landscape. At least I will not be stressed out... — read more
