@bf majority are manufacturing facilities.
What about the transport team who runs out of Knoxville? Are they still here? Get a package?
What about the drivers? Where are they moving to? Knoxville sales or Smyrna?
@b3 “Old” meaning in age or “old” as in years of experience at PepsiCo?
@b9 what locations? Production? Warehouse? Pepsi? Frito? Sales?
Oh just wait. There are 8 more locations on the chopping block. You have not seen the end of it yet. As a company we have become very too heavy with a leadership team that does not know how to run a company. Anybody can have a degree but still lack business sense and common sense. They need to purge from the top down starting with Rom and Ramon. Both are garbage!
Cannot agree more. So many old VP,SVP directors occupying chairs
It would be smart if theh saved factories, and operations who actually produce. Wiring of physical deprecates sets while continuing to spend enormous $$$$$ on R&D that doesn’t produce R&D, marketing that didn’t deliver, Sales leadership who keep loosing major accounts. S&T whose only transformation is to transform good to ruins.
They should start by firing many ineffective Sr. directors, VPs and SVPs in R&D, Marketing, S&T and all IT)
that should save $100 million on G&A and another $200 million in their useless projects).
Pepsi had great R&D, Marketing and sales leadership 15-20 years ago. Only good thing that’s left is factories and warehouses.
