An average workplace that does not value the strength of its people
Regional Safety Manager (Current Employee), Carrollton, TX – April 12, 2013
Pros: create your own travel schedule and can work from home
Cons: company does not value its tenured employees and the proven results they have provided
A typical day is on the road influencing front line managers and employees.

I make it a point to obtain a take-away on everyone of my visits

Managers do not value its people

Co-Workers are great people who are hard working

I do not find work to be hard, I consider everyday a challenge because I learn something new each day.

I enjoy being able to – more... provide tools to teams in order to send every employee home safe each day. – less

Reactive Culture
Food Safety Specialist (Current Employee), Beloit, WI – April 6, 2013
Pros: will develop you if you are engaged
Cons: work life harmony
In a company that is full of change, it is reactive in nature. This means that all the change that is continously going on is met with a brick wall.

Great company
Warehouse Worker (Former Employee), Denver, CO – March 31, 2013

Frito-Lay is a great company to work for. Benefits include excellent insurance plans, paid education, paid vacations, opportunities for advancements for full-time employees. It can be labor intensive. I learned the importance of safety and working as a team.

Extremely demanding work environment.
Sales District Leader, Bronx Zone (Current Employee), Bronx, NY – March 25, 2013
Pros: always learning something new every day that make you a better person.
Cons: little to no reward for the work and personal sacrifice you do for the company.
No two days are alike, even after 15 years. I learned that this company is not a potato chip company, but a people company. I have been given the opportunity to pass on the knowledge and know how to future generations that are working for this company. Hardest part of the job is the hours of personal sacrifice you give for no reward in return. Most – more... enjoyable part of the job is watching my subordinates succeed knowing that I helped them get to the next level or increase their income! – less

Disgusted
Route Sales Associate (Former Employee), MN – March 21, 2013
Pros: none ! oh wait, i did get a yo yo with the company logo on it. unfortunately i could not use it to pay bills.
Cons: work nights, holidays, weekends, odd hours 24 hours a day with no set schedule. no overtime. no commission. no holiday pay.
You will use your personnel vehicle, your phone, your computer and any other asset they can take advantage of for their benefit. You will work nights, holidays, weekends, odd hours 24 hours a day with no set schedule. 60+hrs a week. No overtime. No commission. No holiday pay. and in many cases there was no pay at all. The company scrambles to send money – more... western union. Always over a week late and never the correct amount.

You will be subjected to controlling behavior into your personnel life.

If you enjoy these attributes while stocking junk food in convenience stores and taking orders from clerks with I.Q's under room temperature and making no money while promoting gross obesity this job is for you. – less

They try hard
Route Sales Associate and in March (Current Employee), Beltsville, MD – March 20, 2013
Generally, the worst company I have ever worked for.

My first full year on the job, 2012 I made $53,000. For delivering chips, that's quite good so I've stuck around.

Everything else about it is world-class awful.

I tried and failed to convince the higher-ups to change, to change in the right way.

It is now time to move on.

Success is forward.
