since the reorganization what has happened? im curious to see how many have gone and how many are working 50 plus hours trying to stay afloat? if my team was a ship i'd call it the titanic cause we are taking on water faster every day!
Advice to those who have only recently got here?
If now, after a few years of working here, I had to summarize everything and try to give meaningful advice to someone - I would tell him to leave as soon as possible. For those who might be trying to get a job here - don't come here. I’ve stayed here... — read more
Any new news???
It's been a while since anyone has posted any new "red flag" info. Does anyone have anything new to share? A coworker of mine told me just today of a bunch of info they had received of impending change, but refused to elaborate on what the... — read more
Will slackers always be more appreciated here?
Unfortunately, but that is my opinion. I gave notice because, among other things, I couldn’t solve that problem with the manager for a long time. I had a feeling he despised all those who work harder and try harder. He always was protective of... — read more
What does "more dedication" mean?
I just heard someone’s manager saying he expected more dedication from that person. Well, that's what I heard about myself from my manager. He told me that even after I worked harder than ever, put in more effort than ever, gave 200 percent of... — read more
How much would you like to get out of here?
I've been here for almost 10 years. Lately, every day here is a feeling of impending doom. I have never sent this many job applications before. It was even funny to me how many apps I sent but all with the goal of getting out of this joke of a... — read more
Getting worse from day to day?
Does it seem to anyone else that the situation and atmosphere in this company just does not stop deteriorating? I hope it’s just my subjective feeling. Every day I encounter some new problem. Problems, of course, are just piling up and no one is even... — read more
Working off the clock
How to survive 12-hour shifts? How much longer will you be able to endure such conditions? I'm at a breaking point. I feel horrible that I didn’t start looking for a new job much earlier, but it’s better to get out of here late than never. I'm... — read more
Any good rumors lately?
It's been awhile since anyone shared some juicy rumor.
Could they meet these ridiculous objectives?
Why would anyone want to stay at this place? Only people that I know (sales) that stay have families and are kinda locked into their jobs. Luckily I don't and am about to jump ship as well. *Tired of ridiculous objectives, mo store service, and being... — read more

Incredible levels of nepotism
Sometimes I think that something like this doesn't even happen to companies in third world countries. Is it possible that here every day I witness a growing nepotism, which is no longer even disguised. Have you ever worked for a company that had... — read more
Can Mondelez retain talented employees?
This used to be a place where you could make a career. How many young people are staying at Mondelez now? It seems that now no one wants to stay in one company for more than 4-5 years or until they gain some basic experience so they can move on... — read more
Needs to said.
When the pandemic started last year the company did right by letting us have control of our territories as far as ordering and taking care of business as we know how to do. I'll admit some are better than others at it but at least we pushed through... — read more
Dirt
So tired of store management treating us like 3rd class citizens
Interview tomorrow morning
Have an interview tomorrow morning and hope it goes my way. Would love to leave this under paying company. Q1 results they show positive growth and we get fu@$ with objectives. Way to take money out of my pockets.
What changed after you left Mondelez?
I feel like a new person after 3 months since I left here. I left when I noticed that I was no longer a happy person with a smile on my face, instead I had become cynical and moody. Then I decided enough is enough and found a new job. Now I enjoy... — read more
Leave, leave, leave
Working at Mondelez is not doing any good to your career or your image. This is an absolutely horrendous place to work and you will realize just how bad it is as soon as you change jobs, no matter which company you move to. It simply doesn't get any... — read more

Anyone know when DSD is ending?
I’m hearing that we’re going warehouse soon! Any truth about that or just rumors?
Bad treatment of employees
It feels like the managers at Mondelez are competing at who can treat their employees worse. Lying, bullying, and intimidation are only some of the many "management techniques" that have become the norm here. I'm honestly scared of finding out what... — read more
What do they do to motivate us?
How inspired and motivated do you feel here? When did you start losing inspiration? It seems to me that Mondelez is no longer doing anything or doing very little to motivate and inspire its employees. The atmosphere is bad and it's become really... — read more
How much did you sacrifice for Mondelez?
I believe most of us have given Mondelez much more than Mondelez has given us. It is a shame what is expected of employees and how much is returned to them given the expectations. I know people who have subordinated their entire private lives to... — read more
Pay Increase
Could the pay increases this year been any more of an insult. With what we went through with Covid while the company had a record year. FU
Lack of merchandising hours on new routes
Has anyone noticed on their new routes you are expected to do too much??? I do not get very much merchandising on my new route. Mondelez expects me to do EVERYTHING! I will have a MOD and get 9 minutes. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to get 32... — read more
Dsd is totally optimized
First day of dsd optimization update from somewhere in the southeastern u.s.: Inept DM forgot to send out schedule for all D stores. Inept DM forgot to send out updated contact information for a new combined territory with all new faces. Inept DM... — read more
People who are quitting are doing Mondelez a favor
As simple as that. If you walk out knowing that you'll most likely be laid off before the end of the year you are saving the company money and doing them a huge favor. Every severance saved means more bonus money for those on top. I have no intention... — read more
How close are you to leaving without severance pay?
I don’t like to generalize, maybe Mondelez is a great company for some people, but for me it’s not. Especially lately. Leaving without severance pay would be another victory for them, but I am seriously considering giving them that as well, because... — read more
New routes
What does everyone think about their new routes? Good? Bad? BS? Comments?
Workload now vs. workload before?
How much more are you overwhelmed with work compared to a year or two ago? Can you make a comparison? My responsibilities have certainly doubled, and the stress is multiplying every day and I think they are questioning my limits, how much I can... — read more
There should be a little more interaction?
Is it normal for a person to see their DM once or not at all in their long career? Someone mentioned it in the digression on one of the previous threads and now I’m really interested in your experiences. I’ve only seen him once, and it’s also not... — read more
Nostalgia
That’s the worst thing. What benefit do I get from remembering how it used to be better? There are people who constantly talk about how it used to be, and how it is now, I noticed that on this forum as well. Such nostalgia makes it harder for them... — read more
Biased treatment to SOME employees
Has anyone else experienced biased treatment, or is it just me? The merchandiser does absolutely nothing, then my boss/DM rides my a– to pick up all the slack from these lazy employees. How can I do my job, then pick up the slack of 3-5 other... — read more
And what if Mondelez really was for sale?
I hear a lot of rumors that Mondelez is for sale. I’ve heard such rumors before, when I first started working here and they turned out not to be true, so I don’t believe it's the case now either. However, as much as I used to fear that this could... — read more
Lost passion
I have always dreamed of doing the job I do. When I got my dream job in this company, without any great previous experience, I was thrilled. At the time, I didn’t pay much attention to minor details that could be better in this company because I was... — read more
How many good relationships have you built here?
I’ve been here for a long time and I’ve built some very good relationships with people who came to Mondelez at about the same time as me. However, of all these people, only one colleague remained here, all the others either left or retired. I have a... — read more
