PepsiCo to Eliminate 1,000 North American Jobs in Restructuring
PepsiCo is cutting roughly 1,000 positions across North America as the beverage and snack giant moves to streamline operations and boost flagging domestic sales.
PepsiCo announced plans to eliminate approximately 1,000 jobs across North America as the company undertakes a broad operational restructuring aimed at reversing a slowdown in its core home market, according to reports.
The workforce reduction signals growing pressure on one of the world's largest food and beverage companies to right-size its cost structure while simultaneously working to reinvigorate consumer demand in the United States and Canada.
