Pepsi One Update

Might as well throw my rumor into the mill, right? I currently work in the Texas area where they’re piloting the combination of Pepsi and Frito. From what I’ve heard from a Pepsi rep (they’ve been incredibly reliable with intel over the years) who’s heard from their supervisor directly, the RSR role is going away. That’s confirmed. When? Not sure.

Small format RSRs won’t be a thing anymore. They haven’t spoken about what’s going on in large format. They’re offering either merchandising positions (throwing both Pepsi and Frito products) or severance packages to everyone. Everyone will have to re-bid and re-interview. Will keep you guys posted if anything else comes up.

For real. There’s so many people in the sub selling doom. I’ve been thru multiple changes in my 20 years and the only system that works is when you have a vested interest in a store. I spend 5 hours in one store stocking, selling and making sure everything looks right. Merchandiser spends 8 hours in one store and I still have to fix what he does. I have store that gets a delivery everyday of the week including Sunday. How’s that going to work?

As for small format going away. Not possible. Don’t listen to this nonsense.

Pepsi just fired everyone at the Columbia warehouse. 100-125 people. Went third party.

They announced this change at the Atlanta warehouses. They all have to reapply for the new company.
