This company has horrible working conditions and OSHA needs to evaluate the Lorton, VA Facility immediately. Employees clock in 10-18 hour days regularly and do not take enough time between shifts, which is illegal. One of the employees who had a heart condition requested to have a box truck that had air conditioning, and managers did nothing about it for weeks (weather in the box trucks gets 110 degrees or more during the summer). There was a fire outside the building once and there are always several jars of broken glass somewhere in the warehouse. My job was on-call 24/7 7 days a week including Holidays. I couldn't spend Christmas week with my family because I got called into work. I got calls between 11PM-5AM constantly to find more route coverage. Management steps over everyone trying to make themselves look good for the ZBM & ZSL. The territory I managed was open because the person managing it before me had a mental breakdown and went missing for 3 days (police came to investigate). I am a minority, and maybe one of the only minorities of my race at Frito-Lay at that time. During my training period, my Trainer during our 1-week classroom time announced during class in front of all the trainees that I was passive and timid (stereotypes of my minority). It was extremely unprofessional, and I never felt comfortable with Frito-Lay after that event. DO BETTER. My manager verbally abused me and other managers at that time. When I put in my 2 weeks, he told me that he was not surprised and I would never do much with my career. I am now incredibly happy in my current job and making more than twice what I made at Frito-Lay only 3 years late. My manager made a list of everything I needed to do before I left, and threatened me personally if I did not complete it. After I left, I found out that multiple people submitted HR allegations due to his abuse. He was demoted to a non-managerial role. Thinking about Frito-Lay gives me anxiety and PTSD. I cannot express how horrible my experience was. I believe this place gave me many physical and mental health issues.
