I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PepsiCo (Columbia, TN) in Jun 2011
Interview
This was an internal job posting for already employed associates. Would have been for a promotion. Questions revolved around experience, how would I handle customer complaints and issues. The competition far exceeded me in experience and, as such, it was a courtesy interview. Had I been an actual contender, the interview might have been a little more involved. No fault to the company. At least I was given the chance to compete and will have an edge for the next time a similar position comes available. The interviewers were professional as always, and relaxed. If this is your first time applying with Frito-Lay, give it your all. This is a great company for which to work.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe similar experience you have as a route sales person?
A customer is upset over a service issue that is beyond your control (ie production issues affecting their stock levels). As the company representative, how would you handle this while providing a positive view of the company?
