      Frito Lay Route Sales

      Route sales representative

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Easy job. Route bid at 53,000. Easy to grow routes if u follow behind lazy people and there are many. Consistently make over 73k and up to 78k. Company does cut routes and u must grow accounts again or u might drop back down into the 50's. Free shirts, royals tickets, chiefs tickets. Benefits are good! 401k, pension (not available for new employees anymore), vacation.

      Cons

      Early starts and route cuts. Company received Herman Lay award (most prestigious). Rsrs received jacket and management got trip to Cancun, Las Vegas and some a trip to Fiesta Bowl. However, if u want to be part of management , u can apply anytime so stop complaining. Many people have hard time with management getting rewards.

      Pros

      Top CGP that looks good on the resume. Many volunteer events to give back. After 5 years of employment, you receive and extra week of vacation. Get a chance to work with new systems like SAP and WebEx. Sr. Management "cooks" breakfast for employees once a year. (Kinda neat.) Co-workers have a generally pleasant demeanor. Summer and winter hours are a plus. (Who can't use extra time off?) Many Employee Groups to join for networking or support. Tuition reimbursement. You can wear jeans to work everyday.

      Cons

      No work life balance depending on your department. Serious silo effect. If you hire into one department be prepared to stay. Departments are very click-ish. Most don't know what departments are on other floors. Talent that is brought in, is under valued and not used to their potential. Current employees that have obtained MBAs or MAs are still overlooked for promotions even with proven results. You must be good at brown-nosing to get ahead in this place. Annual raises are very small (barely cover cost of living) or not at all unless you are sales or management. If you come up with an idea for process improvement, be ready to go through months of red tape before it might be approved for a test. Many supervisors and managers pass projects from sr. management to their employees to complete. Then take the credit with no thanks to those who actually did the work.

      If offered a contractor job, run away as fast as you can!

      Pros

      Recognized name, was once a respectable place to work, used to offer good benefits for employees (but only employees, not contractors), some departments are organized

      Cons

      No respect for contractors, overworked and underpaid. In a particular lab that only employs contractors there is no level of respect from management. Job duties are not clearly defined. Management in that lab is based on emotions and unprofessionalism. Employees in that lab have. Low morale and no sense of worth. They will break you down and push you to your limit, then reprimand you in front of other coworkers for mistakes THEY made, only to feel like they have power. If management feels threatened by an employee who skills for possible advancement, they will make sure it does not happen. The managers here are on a powertrip, and their superiors have no idea what is going on behind closed doors in this lab.
