      Bring your running shoes to work - the pace is relentless

      Pros

      Great place to launch a career with lots of hard working and smart people. People really focus on 'doing the right thing'. Lots of opportunity to gain broad experience. Generally do not stay in the same position for more than two years.

      Cons

      Relentless pace - lots of learning, but at sink or swim pace. Training is pretty much 100% on the job. Maintaining work life balance takes concerted effort here. Everything revolves around meeting / beating plan, which often times drives short-term thinking and decision making.

      Pros

      Well known company and brand. Good pay and benefits. Deep pockets to be able to provide a lot of perks. The higher your position, the greater the perks, which is probably the case in many organizations.

      Cons

      Lack of honesty and integrity by senior management. Definitely a "good old boys (and gals)" culture. Who you know will weigh more heavily than your contributions. As a new employee, it would be best to build your network as quickly as possible, even before focusing on your job and how you can contribute.

      What can they take from us now.

      Pros

      I make great money for the demographical area that I live in. The benefits are not bad but they use to be better. When I started 10 years ago the benefits were better. They keep taking more and more from us each year. Example: We use to get 10% of our annual salary in Stock options each year. Frito decided to lower that to 6% and match 50% of our 401K contributions up to 4%. Basically, they took 2% away. Of course, I realize that it wasn't my money anyway. Example: 10 years ago, I would pay 20 dollars for a co-pay when I went to the doctor. Now, we have deductibles that never get met. I had surgery last year and my max out of pocket for BCBS was 2700. I paid over 4000 out of pocket and BCBS will not reimburse. I used network doctors and facilities. For 2009, Medco will no longer pay for Allergy perscriptions. I take a med that is not available over the counter so I will be stuck with a 95 Dollar perscriptions every month.

      Cons

      Work/life balance is not there. Fritolay preaches work/life balance and say they are a family oriented organization but most employee's work weekends, holidays, nights, etc. Everyone is overwhelmed and has too much on their collective plates. Management is inconsistent and you can't depend on them to go to bat for you.
