Pros

Free chips sometimes if its past the sale by date at the Miami DC

Cons

Work over 5 years at Frito Lay in Miami & Portland Or locatins as a warehouse worker and backfill lead person which I did for many years. I was awarded MVP for the 1 year I worked at the PDX location then I moved bk to Miami for family reasons. Evenings and nights are extremely long and unknown as the when your shift would end. With little to no work life balance. Very uneven work load and same pay rate for you and your peers no matter if you're pulling their half of the job. Little to no advancement opportunities here. I was never written up in over 5 years! I showed up to work every day because I had a relationship with peers not wanting to prolong their work they, due to the fact no one else could help if the team received a call out. I set the standard for the utilization they implemented while employed here. My last few months there, I applied for a leadership role with this company yet the manager bypassed me because I'm well outspoken and didn't speak Spanish and I was employed with this company much longer than the 2 award the position. So I went on my vacation and resigned during my vacation with over 2 weeks remaining. Years later in 2018 I try to apply for a position and it says I'm not allowed to be rehired even though the manager who submitted my request to resign was terminated a few months after. Unfair practices PepsiCo, and no loyalty for dedicated workers.

Pros

Pay is ok and great benefits.

Cons

No work life balance. Held accountable for more and more and way too much micro managing lately. Routes are uneven some heavy and some baby routes. Routes run 7 days a week while other vendors dont. You work every holiday except Christmas unless a holiday is on your day off. Plus you work every weekend you work unless your one of the lucky ones. And if something happens in your personal life you have to deal with it after working long hours too much of a pain to call in. They love to say you will be held accountable as its almost a threat.
