Pros

Great Benefits,although not because of Frito Lay, but rather PepsiCo. Can make some serious money, but not without being put under a huge mental strain.

Cons

I know there are some good managers out there, but they are becoming few and far between. No consideration for any personal time. All talk , no action. Safety concerns are swept under the rug. Very little true honesty, integrity or ethicallity in dealing with employees and customers alike. Too much pressure pushing unwanted or un-needed product to make numbers. Inclusion of decission making by an RSR on his/her route has been stripped away. Too much BS trying to convince everybody about how good things are and not backing up their mouths

Pros

Good Pay, decent benefits, good advancement opportunities if you are labeled a "promotable" candidate. It is the largest snack foods company in the world so it is very stable and good company to be with during a recession.

Cons

Work life balance is non-existent in the field. You have senior management telling you that you need to be checking emails and answering calls while you try to relax and recover from the work week. Just because someone above you is comfortable working 70-80 hr weeks and not seeing there loved ones doesn't mean that I want to do the same. I work to support my family and I'd like to be able to see them more. A lot of pressure to hit your plans/031 that it gets to incompetent managers who can't handle it and they take it out in unprofessional ways on their direct reports. Can't tell you how many times my job has been threatened because my boss wasn't doing his job, but this is more a fault of his management style than the company. The only thing I don't agree with is that when HR gets notified this is going on...DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I love the position I am in now but the field is tough and if you don't have the rock hard outer surface then you will be chewed up and spit out.
