Decent Pay But Hard Work

Customer sales specialist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is decent for an entry labor job. Employees that are doing well are left alone beside the occasional 1 with 1. Frito-lay has a lot of respect in the job field when it comes to vendors, but that means there's also a lot of responsibility to maintain that respect.

Cons

Everything is by seniority. Want a route? You have to bid on it. Want a vacation? You have to bid on it. You've been there only for a few months? Good luck on getting anything decent for a while. No breaks, no lunches, nothing. Management is able to add on to your orders, which makes it hard to keep backstock down. Lots of hours and if you're a floater, it takes a while to get a steady route so you'll have inconistent days off and random stores to work. You'll also be expected to pick up after everyone. Good luck! Want a day off due to being sick? Oops, there's never any coverage.
