I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo in Mar 2011
Interview
One on one on a a college campus. It was fairly straight forward and to the point. The route sales job is not a technical position and would be really easy.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Appleton, WI)
Interview
Management was very easy going, easy to talk to, and you interviewed with two people. It was a good experience. They gave me a chance when I had no experience. The interview was done in the boardroom and we all fed off of each others questions.

Question 1
They asked if I had any Class B driving experience, or a class B driver's license. They also asked why I was interested in working for Pepsi. They wanted to know if lifting up to 75 pounds is going to be a difficulty.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PepsiCo (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2013
Interview
First you have to apply online and pass on online screening. They basically get either a green, yellow, or red light on the other end depending on how well you score and that's generated by the computer system. If you get the green light, management will call you in to take basic math and logic test as well as submit your driving record for the last 3 years. For this you must go to the DMV and request it. If that goes well, they will call you back for an interview which often include a 3 person panel. If you pass everything else, they will send you for a drug test and submit for a background check covering the last 10 years. Drug test is usually done by hair sample and not just a pee test. .

Question 1
They ask psychological questions like, what would you do if a customer comes up to you while you're in a store and asks you for something unrelated to your product? Do you help them anyways, refer them to an employee or tell them you don't actually work for the store?
