Pros

If you are young and willing to work fast and hard 24/7 starting at ridiculous hours from 1am-4am starting times, you can make a decent salary and have pretty good benefits.

Cons

If you want to have no life work balance and be forced to work 12-16 hours a days this is the company for you. Frito Lay gets sued in the state of California every year for paying employees "VROT". Also known as variable rate overtime. This VROT pays frito lay emloyees an hourly overtime rate that is not legal. They get sued every year in but actually save money by getting sued versus paying the legal overtime pay. Check out the numerous class action law suits against Frito Lay over the last 10 years.

Pros

Decent pay for new salesman, great benefits, start early which means finishing early. It's easier to get a job here since they have lowered their standards.

Cons

Huge pay cut for the veteran salesmen, some of us lost around $40k-$50k a year just to give our stockholders more money. Corporate leadership has lost site of the hardworking salesmen.
