Job Analysis Project : Pepsi Co, A Food And Beverage Company

What is the point of this Job Analysis project? To me, the purpose of this project was to get us out of our comfort zones and go into companies and learn about jobs that we are unfamiliar with. Even though we were allowed to use a family member’s position, like in my case where I used my dad, it still had us learning about companies and how a specific job operates. It gave us valuable skills to look beyond the most obvious aspects of a job and dig deeper through various methods to uncover all the aspects of a job. This is important even if we don’t become an HR manager because at some point in our lives, we will be going out looking for a job and to understand what goes into this process will help us significantly.
The company that I went out and contacting was Pepsi Co, a food and beverage company that has been in business since 1965, founded in Delaware. This is the date when the original Pepsi-Cola bought out Frito-Lay and transformed themselves into the dual food and beverage industry (Encyclopedia Britannica Online).
I decided to select the position of a supply chain and equipment supervisor for my job analysis. This job is held by my dad, Gino Cerrone, who has been with the company for 28 years. He entered the company in an entry level position and worked his way up to where he is now. Starting at the lowest level of a service technician, gave him some insight that is valuable to his position now. The position he holds is exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act
