Pros

Its a good place to get exp working for a Fortune 500 company. Sales Sales Sales... thats all that really matters in order to succeed.

Cons

Every job has its drawbacks, its what you make of it. If you have a Regional manager that likes you can move up really fast if not you better start looking for a new job.

Pros

The best thing about Frito Lay is the Pay. The Benefits are also very good as well as the 401k match. There is also an aspect of "Freedom" if you work out of a "BIN" location (basically a storage facility off the main road with several roll-up doors, one for each route in the area) because your "DSL" or boss has several bins to look after so they arent on top of you all the time. A DC(distribution center) is a different story you will see your boss every day.

Cons

Work hours are very early in the morning and people have been known to start work for the day as early as 12am. Some routes start as late as 5am. Your Co workers are not your friends..remember that. Keep to your self. When you are on a Route that requires more than one person to run, most of the time, someone is getting screwed. Either the person in charge of the route is lazy and doesnt pull their weight, or the "swing" / fill in person is lazy. Most of the time the person in charge of the route is lazy and puts alot of the work on the "Swing." Management does not have your back. You may be the best worker in the world working behind the worst person in the world, and all the DSL "boss" cares about is that you got the work done. They wont say one word about poor performance to the person not pulling their weight, and IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT IT YOU PUT A TARGET ON YOUR BACK. Poor Management, management will try to force you to work routes that you will not get paid to work in the event that someone calls out of work. It is their job to cover the route but they are lazy and will attempt to push it off on a salesman. Management will at times try to get you to work on your day off which you will not make any extra money for, basically for free. Favors done for management are asked often and almost always immediately forgotten and not rewarded.
