Do they reimburse for gas ? If not have you calculated do you pay more in gas . Then what you actually make. You seem the type to make the most money you can . (Hard worker) same here. Example you make $765 with 45 hours a week . I am assuming it is weekly pay . And with that being said what do you pay in gas ? Roughly around $300? ($765 -300=465) Let's say roughly -200 in taxes (465-200=265) So ($265) is really what you profited from working that week? And that is what pays the bills .

Will you post hours beside the monthly wage. Thank you so much for giving us all an insight of the company . Most importantly being honest about it. I am considering applying . But I want to know if I would really be benefiting . Technically if your paying out of pocket for gas and they do not provide it. Your not making $17 hr. Some of that hourly wage is split into gas every 100 miles in my car is $10 in my tank . And every 100 miles is about 1hr and half or more in distance . So take from $17hr drop your hourly pay for the first hour or so your working . Just to pay yourself back in gas . My last question would be how does your work day look like . Do you get only a certain amount of stores just in one day and are you put on a certain time limit once you login . They already know how long it will take for you to get the job done . So how long do they give you in each store. ? Thanks man for everything.
@@HH-qj3vg I went to the interview yesterday and I withdraw because it wasn’t worth it. The amount of driving you have to do just to get to work wasn’t worth it for me. I would of had to drive 2 hrs just to get to work.
Worked at Coke and pepsi for 2 years as a merchandiser full time and the hours and labor ain’t worth it.. work part time now in sales at t mobile and still making more money than I ever did as a merchandiser with better benefits
At coke and pepsi as a merchandiser, the manager culture towards you is , Go.!!Go!!.Go!! Lift lift lift, Run run run...while they remind you that you aint shit in the company..😊
In CA job is paying $24.75 - $27 as a Delivery Specialist Class A license....Merchandiser $20 - $27 depending on need and location per their website. Just realize how terrible Texas overtime pay is. In CA we get 1.5 x per overtime hour worked. But then again, CA living cost is much higher than Texas so it all balances out in some way or form.
there is a wide variety of things that could be deemed challenging. For me personally it’s been following up behind people that do the job to the full extent so it throws extra work on my day. Also salesmen can send heavy loads on the days you dread going to work haha
Just visited different accounts during the day and then had to do paperwork really it. I think it’s been yearly or at least year and half. Merchandisers didn’t get a raise in my first year though so I can’t really say until I get another raise.
@@johnesparza8170 gets a little crazy in there been in 6 days the past month in a half but I’m not complaining lol my check looks good every week plus they added a incentive plan so you can make even more money 💰
I’ve worked for Pepsi and Coca Cola. Pepsi pays more, has better benefits, better management standards. But neither are the best company to work for if you wanna be a merchandiser. Look into bread or cupcake merchandising. You make much more money. Like bimbo bakeries or little Debby for example.
So if I wanted to go see my cousin over the weekend, and I didnt want the pto just to have the weekend off, would i be able to do that? Or would they count it as my pto?
I briefly worked as a Pepsi merchandiser in 2021 and they didn’t pay us to travel to work or back home. I had 3 stores once which were like 1, maybe 2 miles apart and I had to travel at least 30 miles to get there. So I only get reimbursed for 2 miles? Such a BS job lol
No. Most markets Pepsi will only pay you mileage from your first store to your last. There are some that will pay you from your home to your first store.
Where do you work? Just curious. I make $20.50 an hour as a lead merchandiser in Missouri. I work 6 days a week, that’s the only way I make money, overtime and mileage
In my region we do place orders on salesmen days off. It all depends on location for sure but not all merchandisers will have to. We have a total of 14 merchandisers and only 5 place orders.
sales rep is the person who places the order for stores. They are on a different pay scale because they make money on commission + the hourly rate they have. I’m not really sure what that is but some guys said they money is good.
@@johnesparza8170 Commission means how much money you make selling an item or good. So from my understanding they have an hourly wage plus their commission for orders placed for the stores.
Its been 2 months ago so this may not matter but I am a sales rep for Coke. We do merchandise as well. Our pay is based on salary plus a nickel for every case sold. It's a decent living but having a good relationship with your merchandiser is key communication is imperative. You can quickly watch a store go to crap if salesmen and merchandisers are not on the same level.
bar none one of the worst jobs i ever did. so glad i got out of the bottling industry. shitty management, back breaking work, and the only way you make money is by working over time and picking up stores. as stated in this check. you worked so many hours to receive a check which was honestly not worth the 70 plus hours you put in for it. on top of the fact the wear and tear on the vehicle and waking up early in the morning every day. what a miserable life style. but to each their own. now i work for Costco making 35 an hour, only working 40 hours a week and making over 70k with benefits not feeling like a total piece of shit. good luck out there, hope you find a way out.
To make really good money as a merch you have to work a ton of hours. Extra hours five days a week and coming in on your off days. Once you divide the salary by the total hours you have ended up working you quickly see it's not worth it.
@@jimpimmers5387 i worked for both pepsi and coca-cola up here in washington. trust me i know. they make you seem like youre making a lot. really, youre just selling your soul to the bottle. terrible company and practices.
Is mileage part of the gross pay or no? Like let’s say you worked for $60,000 that year And you got paid $10,000 of mileage In your tax papers will it say $70,000 or $60,000
At coke and pepsi as a merchandiser, the manager culture towards you is , Go.!!Go!!.Go!! Lift lift lift, stock stock stock...while they remind you that you aint shit in the company..and your very replaceable while paying you peanuts..😊

@@manuelmagana1801 they make you load a pallet of 2 liters and have you stack a display I guess you got to do it in a certain time and I think it was like a week after my formal interview

THIS IS ON A WEEKLY PAY BASE
Yes
Okay about to check it out now appreciate that
You get paid every week ?
Do they reimburse for gas ? If not have you calculated do you pay more in gas . Then what you actually make. You seem the type to make the most money you can . (Hard worker) same here. Example you make $765 with 45 hours a week . I am assuming it is weekly pay . And with that being said what do you pay in gas ? Roughly around $300? ($765 -300=465)
Let's say roughly -200 in taxes
(465-200=265)
So ($265) is really what you profited from working that week? And that is what pays the bills .
So roughly
1 week 45hrs ($265)
2 week 45hrs( $265)
3 week 45hrs ($265)
What you make in a month ($795)
What are your thoughts ? What is your lowest monthly check . And your highest. Will you post hours beside the monthly wage. Thank you so much for giving us all an insight of the company . Most importantly being honest about it. I am considering applying . But I want to know if I would really be benefiting . Technically if your paying out of pocket for gas and they do not provide it. Your not making $17 hr. Some of that hourly wage is split into gas every 100 miles in my car is $10 in my tank . And every 100 miles is about 1hr and half or more in distance . So take from $17hr drop your hourly pay for the first hour or so your working . Just to pay yourself back in gas .
My last question would be how does your work day look like . Do you get only a certain amount of stores just in one day and are you put on a certain time limit once you login . They already know how long it will take for you to get the job done . So how long do they give you in each store. ?

No , but you can move up
@@kingrobs89no but yes? huh

You will have to attain a Class A CDL first
I work for Frito. I’m thinkin bout changing vending companies lol
