Pros

Excellent organization with the best management development systems and resources (assests and information systems) you can imagine Excellent pay with unlimited growth opportunities

Cons

This is a very top-down organization...While they are the best, you simply MUST follow their formula.... Bureaucracy, Bureaucracy, Bureaucracy... People with entreprenureal spirit who want to try things differently than the corporate recipe will be frustrated

Frito Lay review

Pros

We get paid well to do our jobs. We have good benefits and the people we work hand in hand are usually hard workers.

Cons

Our "resources" are more interested in caring what upper management thinks than to even notice all the bad conditions we work under. They are currently trying to basically bribe us to give them positive ratings on some health org surveys we are going to be taking next week. Very few people are willing to lie and say the good things they want us to say. They are under pressure by someone higher up than plant level and so they are getting write up happy at a time when they should be thinking how it will affect what we put on surveys. People are sooo dissatisfied they are talking about unions. I personally don't want to go that way, but if they decided to try it at least we would have someone on our side. Our HR is only for management and it's impossible to get help from him. They have what they call the speak up line, they are supposed to help, but all they do is give it to HR who we couldn't get help from to begin with. Our safety is not important especially if it means spending money when the financial manager doesn't want to. I personally like my job that I do and want to always do my best because our children eat our product, and quality should be the most important process. I just wish that's what management cared about. It's all about the money. I know we need to make money but there should be more energy put into all quality.

Pros

I've only been working for Frito for about 6 months. and YES the job is difficult but I knew that going into it. I've worked in the retail/grocery business since I was 15 working on holidays and weekends is already something I accustomed too. The job is difficult, but I make more $ then the majority of my friends who have college educations. Is it something I want to my entire life? Prob not, but my thinking is I'm at a young enough age where I can make plenty of good $, and eventually use this expierence to reach addition avenue sometime down the road.

Cons

The hours, which I can't really knock to hard for someone who has no family. Sure, getting up at 4 am is rough, but I try to take advantage of the days I have off (Sunday and Wednesday), and try to enjoy myself on those nights.
