I love this job. I just reached my 2nd month and I'm a 125lb single mom. Many people thought I couldn't do it but Pepsi pushed me to the challenge. Great company!
@@1stnationalafrican-america162 I started this March it’s a nice job! My biggest store is a food 4 less takes me about 2-3 hours to finish load days 3-5, sadly I have a bad back and I’m paying for it don’t know how long I’ll be here but I love my bosses!
It’s not that bad, it’s a great job with great pay for those who like a fast day, no day here seems long. Every time you look up you will either be going to break, lunch, or home. Just focus on getting the pallet done as neat and fast as possible while remaining safe and you should surprise yourself .
As someone who worked at Pepsi Mississauga as picker / forklift driver for 1.5 years, this job is a hard strenuous job, you work 10 hour shifts with only a 30 min break, yes the pay and benefits are good but be prepared to be exhausted, back pains and the endless misery of hearing the voice pick even in your dreams.
@@andrewjuriansz2056 all you doing is picking up like a 24 pack of soda throwing it on a forklift. That's not heavy. In amazon you have to literally lift big boxes every second plus not t mention move them around the entire warehouse using a manual pallet jack. Those soda packs like the 24 case/36 case are not heavy i get them from sams club some times. I actually had to lift boxes over 100 pounds in amazon.
@@KINGandWINNER i know you guys at amazon have it way more rough than we do and I truly do feel you. and just fyi its not just one 24/36 pack at a time its on average 40-60 of those 24 packs at a time in under4 mins lol, its nuts, but the powered jack helps a lot.
Starting tomorrow as a forklift operator.. Lets see how it goes - hopefully a forklift operator isnt manually picking up the 24 packs and loading it onto a pallet then using the forklift to transport. Guessing there already shrinkwrapped and ready on a pallet to be just transported across the warehouse.. lets see!
This seem to be the norm for distribution warehouses in TX. I just moved here and applied at a center for Mars chocolate. Was there one day and when the told me I only get a 30 min lunch for a 12 hr day I didn’t go back. I’m a hard worker but not a slave. Labor laws seem to nonexistent around here.
well steve its the work house industry. Have you ever worked in a warehouse. In the warehouse industry your just a number and a someone is ready to replace you like a high school graduate. The job is easy too easy a reason why its hard work but its easy manual labor that doesn't require much thinking. In the end, production rate is all that matters to managers cause like I said you easily replaceable. I personally after all these years working at these jobs have found that its not worth it based on the amount of labor vs the pay. But for warehouses like these like pepsi, amazon, fed ex, ups, coke, you will always have a bunch of quitters who don't like working. They find out laborious jobs are garbage and that the managers are the only ones making money and are the only ones who have time to do things outside of work. They either quit and never come back or some just work for months than quit and go somewhere else than return back after quitting that job. Jobs like these are meant for people who are uneducated and most are into recreational drugs yet they always seem to pass the drug tests. I'm surprised you even need a high school diploma to work at these jobs.
@@KINGandWINNER Before moving to Texas I work in a warehouse for 37 years. But wasn't a distribution center. We shipped the goods that were manufactured there. Different animal I guess. But will not be treated like a slave with no appropriate break time for hours work. Might as well just go back to calling them sweat shops.
@@sideout1961 what? So you loaded pepsi products on trailers or did you unload the products off trailers. I guess you unloaded pepsi products off trailers. But all these pepsi warehouse are the same. Your basically picking products and loading products. I guess you were only loading products in trailers in the pepsi center you worked a reason they didn't care about hte production rate. 30 minutes of breaks is the average. I would say this some like giant has a bunch of old dirty bathrooms to use but someone like amazon has only 3 toilets that are always used up. So your screwed if you got an emergency.
@@MsPatval it’s nice I went to production so I like it picking sucks kinda cuz they can force you to work a double shift started at 4pm got off at 5-6 am but only for 2 weeks shit was exhausting having to wake up the next day and be at work by 4 again luckily for me I went to production they can still force you but it isn’t as bad
I just completed my second day of orientation and will start picking next monday... today we will get certified on forklift. Pepsi gave me a shot and I won't let them down
all that hard work, i get that they are tired. but they stack up 8 ft high and then wrap it one time, whats the point? by the time i open the trailer, most pallets are either leaning or already collapsed.
Did you ever get a chance later on at the interview? I was invited too but think I was late. I went to my account and now I don't see the link to schedule my interview/assessment.
Do order selectors get bonuses if they pick over their rates? Example say you need to pick at 90% but you picked say 110% do you get bonus pay for that?
@@jayalva9228 I haven’t went yet, I go this Friday the 28th of January. Will you do me a favor and let me know how yours go today. Best of luck to you, I’m sure you will do good my boy! Congratulations already!!
@@jayalva9228 I heard from someone else that they didn’t think they did good with the hands on part but they still called him and said he did better then he thought. If they didn’t already give you a no go you might still get the call and did better then you think. Either way good luck to you my boy.
When you do the hands on assessment don’t bother picking up any of the damaged cases. It saves you time and shows you pay attention. They give you 15 minutes to build and unbuild cases. Good luck 👍🏻
If it is PepsiCo affiliated, then most definitely. Their term "work till kick out" is 14 hour shifts. I was promised 40 hour shift with 5x8 schedule. Guess what, I worked 50 hours on my first month. After probation period was over, they started working me 6 days with 1 day off. You can never plan a event on your day off. You will have to rely on vacation hours.
I'm a loader I work 10pm till 630am. If you drive for the line yes your hours change. Night shift can be 6pm till 6am or 8pm till 4, but mostly 6 to 6 if your day shift and if you work 12 hour shifts u come in 6am till 6pm
1:33 that is easy work but the way they use the forklift is dangerous like jumping in front of it while moving. Steel toes protect your toes not your whole foot. Seen lots of workers jump in front of a moving forklift as it stopped in warehouses like these
@@Carlit0Tit0 yeah she didn't jump in front of moving forklift on camera but off camera its a different story. These workers be jumping in front of a moving forklift while its moving. See it at all warehouses. Its dangerous but the managers don't care.
@MsPatval 2 to 3 days they contact me gave me some options of when I can start I chose July 11th because I didn't want to start before 4th of July holiday
@@herusenghor5880thanks for quick response. I’m here in Tampa FL got job offer and my background and drug test is clean but still waiting for start date. It’s getting frustrating been 2 weeks
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is for real? I've span the comments for wisdom because I need a job, and I heard great things about a warehouse my brother himself is going to work, and i needed to see to believe. I hear it's simple, and this video provides me with a more "rose tinted" glass in honesty. So I'm open to genuine experience from others because an Aspie like me needs to get a job and I need to know not just the pros, but the cons too. Feel free to comment, all is appreciated.
Warehouse jobs are nothing but BS. You get fired as quickly as you got hired and they don't give a fuck about how you feel. Strenuous work that will break your body down by the end of the day(and most of the times the end of the week) and it will fuck with you mentally. You'll be getting nightmares and having trouble sleeping because you'll be dreading going back to work. People that say "warehouse jobs are easy" or "i love warehouse jobs" are people that are just brought into the system as worker drones and shot very low in life to the point where they have to cope with being a slave. My advice to you is to get a trade. Trucking, Mechanic, Plumber, Electrician, etc. Something that takes skill and is in high demand. Good luck.
@@ShadowCatDestroyer well, okay, but what would you recommend to one who has autism and was diagnosed with Schizophrenia? 👉👈(I'm this person, by the way, no joke.)
@@gaunterodimmmastermirrors72 Well i don't know what you would be interested in. Whatever career you wish to pursue, research if your disability is a boundary.
@Bilbo Swaggends45 It can be rough, but if you want to whoop yourself into shape while making good money, it is worth it. The benefits are also really, really good.
Anyone willing too do this job make sure to check pay rate after tax otherwise no tank you these billionaires companies tend to pay little pennies on the dollar I know this because I use to work for coke
..the warehouse fvcking sucks. I did it for two years and we have a motto "when summer hits, kiss your wife goodbye because you aren't going to see her for the next 4 to 6 months" I thought it was a joke
Call in follow ups and or just keep trying I’ve been doing it on and off I got in through a temp agency and we’ll working I apply every lunch to new Pepsi postings I got my interview this week finally .
I would avoid working for Pepsico period, especially as a loader at one of their warehouses. Working at Pepsico at the Burnsville, Mn location has been the worst employment experience of my entire life by far! It was an extremely uncomfortable, hostile work environment. Whenever I was at work, I felt like I was on that show 60 Days In! Never in my life have I worked with so many garbage human beings (and some of them were supervisors and team leads!) This warehouse is filled with felons, drug dealers, and gang members. They will hire anyone, it doesn't matter if you have never stepped a foot in a warehouse your entire life or if you have over 12 years of experience. One guy was walked out because he was caught shooting heroin! There were never enough machines or talkmans for everyone and HR was so incompetent they kept overhiring. The machines were in such poor condition I almost seriously injured three co-workers on three separate occasions. Everytime I would take a faulty walkie rider to the upper warehouse for repair, (at this location they refer to it as "upstairs"), it would show up on the floor the next night and then another employee would injure another co-worker. And this warehouse is a complete logistical nightmare. The training sucks and there is no rhyme or reason for why half the products are located where they currently are. This is also a Union Pepsico location which means the worst workers are protected and the top performers are screwed because they have to pick up the slack. I barely lasted four months here and finally I walked out and quit because there was never enough equipment to go around. I refuse to even put this company/work experience on my resume because working here was so bad. To this day, I won't even look at a Pepsico product, much less buy one! That's how awful this work experience has been at the Burnsville, MN Pepsico warehouse location!
sounds like you should’ve did research on the company first, did you not ask questions during the interview on how the team functions and if you don’t fit would you be re-trained for a different position??? i’m 20 and know to ask these things to my soon to be employers. i’m at a union pepsi and love it.
@@jshifty9618 You have got to be kidding me. I can clearly see you're only 20yrs old saying something like that. What employer will tell you the warehouse is packed with gang members, criminals, drug addicts? What employer will tell you they have faulty equipment? What employer will tell you it is dangerous to work there?
@@Newportnews98 I don't want to work around a certain group of people? What people might that be? He mentioned drug addicts, gang members, criminals, etc. Are you saying that fits the description of a certain group of people? What people are gang members, drug addicts, and criminals? Please, tell me.
they probably just using you as temporary labor so that there permanent workers can go on there summer vacation cause that's what they do at giant foods. Plus they are likely going to ask you to take a physical test to see if you can pass it if you are hired after the interview. I made up my mind, I'm going to pass on this interview, its just a waste of time.
Anyone turned off by 10 12 hour shifts isn't a real worker or don't like making money. I worked for Walmart distribution and I left because they started cutting hours. I miss working them long days, them paychecks were fat. Yall look fragile with these comments.
This is my dream Job to work in PIPSI as a Warehouse Picker or Warehouse Loader But I think this is only a dream.. Hoping that you give me a chance to apply but I'm from Philippines..
@@MOONLIGHT-vl9ty you should just be able to Google Pepsi warehouse loader jobs and something will pop up. Like I said just be prepared to work long hours with very little breaks. 3pm to 7:30 am everyday.
@@MOONLIGHT-vl9ty they start you off on the evening shift in the warehouse. After six months you can move somewhere else within the company at the same location. After a year you can relocate.
This is not an accurate representation of a workday at Pepsi 😂 CHAOS for 10-14 hours a night 6 nights a week. Pay is good, $800+ checks. But you gonna work trust me
I couldn’t go to the interview they sent me for the Mesquite TX location, so I’m having to wait on a scheduled day that I can go but is this job good? It seem a like a order selecting & if it is, then I probably won’t take it, order selecting is back breaking work.
@@infamousicee6009 100% backbreaking. 6 days a week 11+ hours a day minimum. You're only getting Saturdays off. But you'll bring home at least 900+ a week. I was bringing home 1100 checks.
@@liteworknoreaction Damn, the money sounds good but all money ain’t good money, I think I’m probably just going to stay where I’m at, I noticed a lot of warehouses list different names for order selecting and this video & based off what you said, is pretty much descriptions of order selecting.
Taking my drug test for this position in a few days. I had to jump through hoops just to get to where I'm at now, with emails, texts, and a few phone calls. But hopefully I'm almost in. It's not a very encouraging start as it seems over complicated to go through the hiring process. I'm trying to stay hopeful that I'll like the job. It looks like there's alot that love it or hate it here in the comments so I dunno.
@@Kn0wOneNos3 don’t know about him but i got hired as a merchandiser and it’s been rough it’s a lot of manual labor but I get good checks every week so it works for now, but if you think you can handle the long hours days and manual labor go ahead, also the hiring process takes some time I tried 2 times until i got in
Update: didn't happen. I got an email basically telling me to have me some boots, and wait for a phone call. I waited a little while, answering every single call I'd get and it was never them. Then I started calling them every day, sometimes multiple times a day and they would never answer. There wasn't even an option to leave a voicemail. I gave up.
considering that i work 12 hour shifts in a warehouse with a hour commute there and back so 14 hours of work for $12 and hour pepsi co doesn’t seem so bad for $16.50 and hour and it’s very close to me
@@gianky7727 oh damn but that makes sense if you’re in cali shits expensive😂. nd i’m sure yours will switch if you’re there long enough, with union on holidays it’s 3x pay nd we get hours lunches
