Pros

Ok pay Work independently Free chips Early start and leave time Finish when job is complete

Cons

Frito lay company is great, but the retail stores (Walmart,Publix,Kroger’s etc) whom you’ll be servicing will make or break your experience. Routes are given based on seniority so expect to work the least attractive routes which usually, aren’t attractive for good reason. The retail store managers know the managers at Frito lay will side with them (they are the big purchase customers after all), therefore if you don’t cater to them and their wants and needs they will make it hell. Catering to the businesses who support your paycheck isn’t a problem, but when you are scheduled to hit 2-3 stores everyday, it gets annoying when store managers are inpatient and believe their store should be prioritized. It is horrible during holiday season. They will call your supervisor, who will then call you and basically tell you to suck up. It’s doable at first but as you go on you might not enjoy working for an employer who makes it known verbally and through actions, that they do not have your back.

Pros

Flexibility with your schedule (not a true 8-5 but you will be called at all hours, 365 days/year) Pay (base is competitive but not worth the stress)

Cons

I worked for Frito Lay for 4 years after college. I don't think I really knew what I was signing myself up for and then once you get sucked into the moving contracts, you're stuck. I was incredibly over-worked, under-supported, and it was just plain miserable. Management only looks out for themselves. Frontline employees are worked to the bone and have barely any respect for management left. The expectations are outrageous. This system is crumbling.
