Pros

The only pro is the pay.

Cons

They hire literally anyone, which makes for a terrible work environment. Poor supervision people get away with everything. They will force you to work 12 hours shifts back to back, in ANY condition with no hesitation. Unfair metrics that some people have to keep with everyday and some just don’t. Not meeting metrics will get you fired. Your 15 minute breaks are timed and you can be written up for break overages that also leads to termination, and again only some employees are held to this standard. The place is the size of a football field not to mention you have to constantly stop for forklifts while getting to and from the break area, by the time you settle 5 mins of your break is already gone. Frito lay does not care about their employees at all, just profits and getting product out by any means necessary, even if they have to burn people out to do it. Do not get lured in by the pay it’s not worth your Sanity!

Pros

Strong brands, solid processes, and good exposure to cross-functional teams. Opportunities to learn, develop analytical skills, and work on impactful projects with experienced professionals.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with high workload. Decision-making can be slow due to multiple layers of approval, and priorities may change frequently.
