Not what you think...
Utility Warehouseman (Former Employee), Denver Co. – January 24, 2013
Pros: good wages and benefits
Cons: very poor management and standards
Other then the wages and benefits it is really not a great place to work or seek a career. From the managers, supervisors and human resources you'll never get ahead on pure skill or talent..

Family oriented company
Various (Former Employee), Williamsport, PA – January 24, 2013
Pros: scheduled work week
Cons: health care package
Frito Lay was an amazing place to work, I learned many marketable skills during my employment with them. Management was easy to deal with and our input was a crucial part of the business. Co-workers became friends, everyone worked as a team. The most enjoyable part of the job was the work life balance that Frito valued.

challenging work place, Demanding dedication to the cause
Route methods expert (Former Employee), Traverse City, MI – January 23, 2013
Pros: good earnings, most rsrs work at least 50 hrs to get their routes and all the paper work done each week, but if your smart you can make some money
Cons: some times the only feedback you get is negative from management, when you do not hit targets, and you may not have as much control over the results of your efforts.
As an RSR on a route you are challenged to grow your sales dollars year over year with specific targets. You are accountable for your waste, so you can't just sell, it has to be the right product amounts in the right account. You are challenged to efficiently so you can service all your customers in a timely consistant manner. You are rewarded with – more... good commisions and great benefits. You are your own boss to an extent, you still answer to a manager but you are on your own in the market. During the holidays you may work an 80 hr week to accomplish your targets. The pay check is your reward. – less

Always on the go.
ROUTE SALES REPRESENTITIVE (Current Employee), San Jose, CA – January 15, 2013
Pros: how much do you want to earn.
Cons: some routs can take more than 12hrs out of the day.
This job can be very demanding,overwelming and sometimes unreasonable.It does depend on the route you run. Some routes are very simple and take no time at all.There could be other factors that may apply but, those can be personal.

Production and sanitation it is a wonderful job. The only I have had where I loved to go to work each and everyday.
Sanitation Worker (Former Employee), Kathleen, GA – January 13, 2013
Pros: pay and benefits, loving environment, team oriented
Cons: too many days off as a sanitation worker.
The hardest part of this job for me was not having to go in to work on my off days. My co-workers were individuals that wanted the same things in life as myself. Our goal was to work and provide for our families and most of all to reach our goal to have the finer things in life.

Day on the Job
Route Sales Representative (Former Employee), Menomonee Falls WI – January 13, 2013
Pros: the pros were that you get payed well for what you did.
Cons: didn't have time to take breaks or lunchs.
I would start my day by getting my Handheld Computer and signing in,next I would make sure all of my orders were in my computer,after I made sure of that I would walk to my truck and made sure that my orders were secure and not going to fall.Then I drove to my first stop and started delivering all of the orders.
I learned to use a Handheld computer,how – more... to reach goals that I set for myself.
The Management in my opinion could do a better job on treating there employees better.
I didn't talk to a lot of my co-workers due to the fact that we all got done with work at different times.But the ones that I did talk to were great,I made friends with a few of them.
The hardest part of the job was working threw the weather.
The most enjoyable part of the job was working in the field. – less
