Fiscal year starts in April for Mondelez. Announcement is coming soon. 60 day's notice required by law. Walmart and Kroger contracts are up in 2020. DSD is an outdated system. These stores require 7 day's service and we don't provide that. Stores are... — read more
I just can’t see it
I can’t see the company leaving dsd, I think if they did it would be a mistake. The stores can’t take care of there own product, I can’t see them take care of ours.
One more sign......
For those of us that were at the rally meetings just after Keebler left dad.....remember when we were told by our regional leader (the one that fell off the ladder) that Kellogg would tank? Well look now! Even after they sold their cookie business!... — read more
Say Goodbye to the Wilkes Barre, Pa Office

Asset managers in plant
Anyone else have these labcoats walking around taking asset inventory? Makes me nervous. Feel like 2020 could bring the closure of more plants or the sale of some brands.
Damage control by Mondelez
Mondelez keeps doing damage control by trying to convince us through conference calls, meetings, etc, that DSD is not ending, despite so much evidence that it is. The more they try to "convince" us DSD is not ending, the more I'm convinced it is. My... — read more
You Guys Have It Almost Right

How are your Walmarts?
Curious as to how everyone's stores are looking. For me at this point it's coming back to where it was before EDI, just with more steps involved. A lot of calls to customer care to remove stupid product lines from orders, and sometimes just outright... — read more

Job referral
Had an old Kellogg merchandiser tell me that Mondelez DM keeps trying to hire them, and then laughed! I get it! I told them, “it’s simple”! “If your looking for a job where they treat you like dirt, ignore you, over schedule you and basically don’t... — read more

The writing is on the wall
I worked for nestle and we lost our c stores 2-3 years ago. We stopped having meetings about sales targets and focused on safety. The writing was on the wall for years.....they just had a long term plan in place. It just took longer because we had... — read more

Four more days. Lots of management boarding their life boats
It was fun while it lasted.
Salesman here who has gotten away with so much. I can honestly say I seen this coming years ago. Leaving all the work for the merchandisers who don't do my job the right way. Going to miss all the free or should I say stolen product. Not much regret... — read more

This Organization is handling Walmart poorly
We have been in this pattern with Walmart for over a month. We clearly have similiar instances regarding the current happenings as sales reps thanks to this web site. The direction at best is still shaky and actually in hindsight its not about DSD... — read more
Another excuse....
So CAO isn’t designed to eliminate back stock, of that’s what you were told!! It’s an algorithm designed to order, and typically doesn’t work well, especially the algorithm utilized by Mondelez. Other companies have had much better success! Our... — read more

Company values
So discouraging and also disgusting to work for a company that prides themselves on values, yet has close to $30 million dollars of penalties! Ouch! Practice what you preach! And the SEC hasn’t even gone after the whole issue of ghost trucks! That’ll... — read more
Cost efficiency
Maybe just maybe the high cost for dsd wouldn’t be so ridiculous if you didn’t allow everyone to camp out in the same position for their entire career. Should have hired people with more ambition and long term goals. Paying some of these cookie... — read more

Scripted displays at Wal Mart being ordered by the EDI system. Some might say, fantastic! this means we actually get displays. I say it just means we are headed the direction of Keebler.
