Pros

starting pay is decent for an unskilled position

Cons

no life whatsoever, constantly being forced to work on your weekends, 12 hour days make you tired and depressed. If you hate yourself this is the place to work!

Pros

I can not think of any good reasons....this was the worst waste of years of my life ....if you want to put yourself through cruel and unusual punishment then come work here...lose your family, your friends, and any sense of who you were, Become brainwashed should be the company slogan.

Cons

This company is an evil empire. They truly are a monopoly they are just very good at disguising it by letting a few of the little guys in to compete, knowing they have no chance against the brand names owned by Frito.

Pros

There are fairly large differences in culture, practices, and employee satisfaction between different departments within Frito Lay but the Research & Development function is a wonderful place to work. The people are helpful, positive, and caring. The work is interesting, challenging and fast paced and work-life balance is clearly a priority set by management. We work very hard and play very hard too. Responsibilities are given from nearly day 1, along with support to succeed so the opportunities for growth and upward movement are evident. All type A's will appreciate the environment!

Cons

It is a very large company so it's possible to get lost in the shuffle and as with most large companies, there is a lot of bureaucracy. Frito Lay is known for it's quick reactions and the constant flux of plans can be draining and frustrating. It's not a place for the timid or unmotivated. There is a decent amount of inefficiency within workflows and loose ends of projects that have been abandoned which can be distracting.
