Pros

Committed to hard-working employees who will get rewarded if they go above and beyond the basic 40-hour week. Friendly office environment, communication from top-level is sufficient. Opportunities for advancement and gaining experience in different areas abound, you just need to ask.

Cons

Work can take over life sometimes.

Pros

1) The compensation; 2) The benefits - excluding holidays; 3) The people; 4)

Cons

The time committment - there is truly no work/life balance; the family is always sacrificed - for whatever reason; the competition is fear - no one wants to help unless it's something in it for them ---be it recognition, an extra day off, an I.O.U., a promotion, etc.; working the holidays; management not pushing back on customers and drawing the line and saying, hey, this is what we need to make this a win/win for all of us; it's usually PBG making the sacrifice of it's people (low level customer reps) to satify the customer at the expense of it's employees; 100 days of summer; Customer reps working their days off; working 60 - 70 hours per week;

Pros

Benefits package is nice. Guys with high-school education, mabey a little college, can make a decent middle class wage.I have a very good route, will finish the year at 55 k. Most routes in this area earn 40 or 45 per year. Little over the shoulder supervision- almost always work alone. Easy to lie and weasle out of trouble, with Frito or the customer. Kinda like war, but nobody dies. Also most frito guys are loved at the store level. Kina like Santa. Crazy. Take home outdated stuff, still good for weeks. Not allowed, but an unenforced rule. Gotta be most popular guy in my neighborhood. People love free chips. Chips are not heavy. Little thinking required, exept very basic stuff.

Cons

Long hours-45-55 avg. some guys-jobs, a lot more. GOTTA show up- calling sick is not gonna be a habit. Inane, wildly, stunningly stupid meetings and classes. Pressure to hit numbers. Proxemity to some of the dumbest people on earth. Mid level frito managers and wal mart workers. Wow, what a combo platter.
