Pros

Strong resume builder --- opens many doors; you will definitely work on some cutting edge marketing programs, and see how marketing absolutely impacts sales. You will also learn in-depth how grocery store marketing operates very differently than broad consumer marketing programs, and learn how to bring the two programs to common ground.

Cons

"every person for themself" --- this is not "we will do it as a team" environment, but rather "this was my idea and I'm claiming all the glory." Unfortunately, some very good people are stepped on, and in order to rise above, you will be dedicating your life to the company. Work-life balance is lip-service, where HR programs in place to create harmony and balance are not relevant to those in marketing.

Pros

Great people to work with. Great product. Lots of product innovation.

Cons

Promotions and recognition is not performance based; it is based on race, gender, age. Nearly impossible to make it into management internally. "You have to come in at a high level"

Pros

Large company with vast resources. Has significant retail experience and presence, so if you have interest in learning about how my market at a mass scale, this is a decent place. Interesting to manage operations that require refridgeration and a complex supply chain.

Cons

If you are interested in a varied experience, this is not the place. Trop is focused on being a small part of the PepsiCo portfolio. I left right when Neil came on, and his focus is profitability. If you want a place the will give you the experience of brand equity building, work on Gatorage or Pepsi. Also, Pepsi is going to move all of their beverages to NY in the next 3-5 years (in my opinion). Therefore, if working in Chicago is important to you this may be a shot term opportunity.
