Pros
Benefits and Pay are OK. The Company used to offer more incentives and opportunities for advancement, but due to changes in leadership it is no longer permitted.
Cons
Unfortunately the Company has changed for the worse the past 4-5 years. Corporate leadership has truly ruined the reputation and value of the company. The trends seem to sway toward bringing in inexperienced recent college grads who can work for much less. They do not have families to support so it is easier for them to put in the ridiculous amount of hours. They are good at punching in numbers but terrible with people skills or really helping to support the RSRs. The continual changes in routes/re-engineering make it impossible to build your sales and establish a foundation with your team. The numbers that are expected.....let's face it.......they are a joke......most of the time they are completely unattainable. The quality of life of a Frito-Lay employee?? What life? You can't even take off if you are sick. The company is out of compliance with their Code of Conduct. Management always manages to see the negatives......there aren't any pats on the back for a job well done. When there is positive recognition, it isn't always deserved.......If you got lucky and got a decent sales team or route.....your numbers are up. If you weren't so lucky and ended up receiving a poor route then your numbers are down and you are written up or receive a poor review. The scorecard is totally unfair. Luck shouldn't have anything to do with your performance. The company is so numbers driven it has lost touch with its people. Just read these other reviews from around the country. People are generally over-worked, stressed out, feel no quality of life, feel unappreciated, and disrespected. Is this company still American owned and operated??? - because its mission and the direction it is taking is completely Un-American and impersonal.
