Pros

Frito lay has good benefits including 401K, PTO, sick days, discounts on chips, plus a pension after 5 years of employment. I do not feel like I am being micromanaged or someone is constantly over my shoulder. As long as you do your job, keep your area clean, low waste you will not be bothered much. Managers praise when you do a good job. I can tell management is doing their best to improve the company overall with the recent changes they have been making in the company.

Cons

Forced overtime when short staffed. 8 hour shifts could turn into 12 hour shifts and 5 day work weeks can turn into 6-7 day work weeks. You can request your 7th day off so you will always at least have one day off a week. Management has been hiring to fill in spots to cut down overtime over the past year which has helped. Drama can be an issue but that is anywhere you go. Learn to avoid it and not let people bother you in a negative way.

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.
